Mr. Braswell has over twenty years’ experience partnering with organizations in talent management, executive search, and leadership development. Previously, he was a founding partner of the firm Talent Bridge, where he managed the Retained Search Practice, Career Services Division, and Diversity Talent Practice.”Completing a successful search is only part of the job,” said Christopher Braswell, President of TM2 Education Search. “We intend to maintain long-term relationships with leaders and schools, providing the coaching necessary for successful transitions.”TM2 Education Search is former Black College Presidents/Chancellors and Alumni who are passionate and committed to the welfare of the Black College Community and the development of minority leaders.
