Felix Global, the premier executive search, professional recruiting, talent development, consulting and career transition firm, is excited to announce the addition of Stephanie Benesh, managing director and practice leader, talent development and Kathleen Murphy, managing director, executive search to the firm. Benesh and Murphy started on April 11, 2022.
Stephanie Benesh brings over 20 years of leadership experience and team management in a variety of fast-paced and ever-changing environments to the Felix Global team. Benesh is in charge of leading and growing the talent development practice within the United States market. She works closely with clients to determine their needs, build solutions and deliver optimal resources and results. Her experience spans many industries, including television production, retail, healthcare and technology.
“I am excited to join this team of authentic leaders who are focused on improving the quality of work life for our clients and organizations,” says Benesh. “It is apparent that the values and vision are shared and that everyone is moving in the same direction with an air of passion, purpose and excitement.”
Kathleen Murphy brings over 25 years of experience, both in executive search and corporate environments, to her role as managing director of executive search at Felix Global. Murphy supports key sales, marketing and business development activities in alignment with the firm’s overall strategy and the practice area’s plans to drive customer satisfaction and retention. She contributes to firm-wide sales enablement and improves the sales culture through identification and planning of future strategies, products and industry insights.
“My goal for Felix Global in general and the executive practice in particular, is to be a respected and valued partner for the healthcare and life science industries,” says Murphy. “When our clients have senior talent needs, we want them to continue to think first and only of Felix Global.”
Benesh and Murphy are based in Felix Global’s U.S. headquarters in Chicago and work with clients across North America in a wide range of industries, including health care, finance and more.
“We’re excited to bring on these two consummate professionals to our team,” says Jim Graham, chief executive officer of Felix Global. “Stephanie and Kathleen both bring vast experience, a high-quality work ethic and the drive to help our clients achieve their personal and professional career goals.”

In February, Marc Detampel was named lead of the firm’s newly created talent and organizational performance practice.
