Executive Search Services

Above and Beyond Talent Acquisition is driven by our mission to increase executive diversity among Fortune 500 companies. Founded by Keith Harper, our Certified Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) is dedicated to helping highly qualified, diverse individuals achieve their professional dreams while matching companies with the best, most qualified talent on the market.
Founder & CEO
A former US Army ROTC Cadet, Keith honed his talent-sourcing skills over 25 years scaling staffing firms across North America. A proud graduate of the esteemed historically black college, Hampton University, and holder of a Master’s degree from Columbia University, Keith saw the need for more representation in executive leadership.
This passion led to the inception of A&B Talent – an organization that aims to close the diversity gap that still persists in many of the most respected and impactful organizations on the planet.
