MEET OUR FOUNDER, ANGIE SOLOMON.
Executive Growth Partner. Culture Builder. People’s Champion.
I’m Angela Solomon—founder of A. Solomon Recruits & Growth Academy—but this didn’t start with a business plan. It started with a front-row seat to what happens when someone loses their career—and the system doesn’t catch them.
I grew up in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Watched brilliance go overlooked. Watched my uncle—a Revlon executive—lose his job and his sense of purpose. He never got a second chance. And I never forgot that.
That’s why I do this work.
I’ve spent over 25 years in the people game—leading with heart, grit, and results. I’ve placed more than 300 high-impact leaders. Built a nationally recognized, Black woman-owned search and coaching firm. And I’ve helped companies move from performative DEI to legacy-driven leadership that actually retains and respects the talent they bring in.
I’m not just a recruiter. I’m a career advocate, executive coach, and strategic partner who shows up when it’s hard—during transition, transformation, and trauma.
I coach professionals to reclaim their power. I help leaders rise without losing themselves. And I advise companies that want to do more than check boxes—they want to hire well, lead better, and build cultures where people thrive.
My work is wellness-informed, trauma-aware, results-obsessed, and rooted in real equity. I believe in inclusion that sticks. Careers that don’t cost you your peace. And companies that grow with people in mind—not just profit.
Because I know firsthand what it means to lose purpose—and what it takes to find it again.
If you're ready to hire with intention, lead with humanity, and build legacy through leadership—I’m your partner. Let’s work.
