We’re focusing on leaders who have developed and executed recruiting strategies that have produced remarkable results in today’s market.

This week we are connecting with Tracy Dunne.

Tracy is a Branch Manager with Comey & Shepherd in Cincinnati, Ohio, and she manages their flagship office in the Mariemont neighborhood.

You’ve not heard of these disruptions because they are local, and from the outside it doesn’t look like anything is really changing.
