Tatiana Somers

Founder & Principal

Tatiana Somers brings more than twenty years of executive search and recruiting leadership experience, combining a foundation in retained executive search with senior in-house recruiting leadership at leading global law firms.

As a native New Yorker, Tatiana began her career as a partner with an international executive search firm based in Moscow, placing senior leaders for Fortune 500 companies, multinational organizations and law firms across industries including financial services, technology, industrial and automotive, aerospace, pharmaceuticals, consumer products and media.

She later moved in-house, holding senior recruiting leadership roles at White & Case LLP and Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP in New York. Working directly with firm leadership gave Tatiana firsthand insight into the business, organizational and political dynamics behind critical hiring decisions.

Her experience as both a search partner and an in-house recruiting leader brings a distinctive perspective to Somers & Associates: the judgment and market knowledge of executive search combined with an insider’s understanding of what clients need when the stakes are high.

Based in New York, Tatiana advises law firms and professional services organizations across the United States and internationally.
