Cheryl Grimaldi is an executive recruiter, advisor, and founder of two executive search firms, Tangent West and Anton Everest.

For more than 30 years, Cheryl has worked on the front lines of hiring — partnering with founders, boards, family offices, and senior leadership teams to place executives across industries and stages of growth. Her work spans entry-level to C-suite roles, giving her a rare, end-to-end perspective on how hiring decisions are actually made.

Known for her clarity, discretion, and deep understanding of people, Cheryl has advised some of the most influential leaders in the world on how to build strong teams — and has guided countless candidates through high-stakes interviews that change the trajectory of their careers.

Interview for the Offer was written to demystify the interview process and give job seekers practical, honest guidance rooted in real experience. Cheryl believes interviews work best when both sides show up prepared, curious, and grounded — and that the strongest careers are built without pretending, performing, or becoming someone you’re not.

Cheryl lives in the mountains of Colorado, where she finds clarity on the ski slopes, hiking trails, and in everyday conversations that remind her what matters most.
