NU Advisory Partners, an innovative, retained executive search and advisory firm, announced that three highly experienced executive recruiters have joined the firm:
- Jay Hussey joins as a Partner who will focus on C-level executive searches for public and private capital-backed companies in the media technology, and data/analytic services industries. Most recently, he was President of Global Search at SRI, a search and talent consultancy focused on media and entertainment, sports, fashion, and sporting goods sectors.
- Ben Dewar joins as a Partner and will lead searches across the executive functions, with a specialization in human resources, talent and legal searches. Previously, he was a Partner with True Search, where he built and led the People, Talent, and Legal Practice.

The new additions add even more depth and industry knowledge to NU’s leadership team. NU’s mission is to reinvent the executive search industry with the highest quality services, sophisticated use of technology and AI, reimagined processes, and a creative approach to solving difficult problems.
“We’re excited that Ben, Jay, and Tara, three highly respected professionals in the executive search industry, have joined our quest to be as driven, creative, and nimble as the organizations we serve,” said Nada Usina, the firm’s CEO and Co-founder. “They exemplify everything we stand for, believe in what we are building from a tech and AI perspective, and know their industries inside and out. They turn up amazing candidates in unexpected places and are leaning in to the chance to bring the most modern perspective to clients with the use of AI.”
