— Brian Clark
General Manager & Global Managing Director Walmart Business Unit at Microsoft
“I worked with Lee in two ways- He worked on filling roles for me and recruited me to the Chief of Staff role I started in early 2019. Lee is effective across the entire spectrum of executive recruiting. He is effective at intake- understanding the role and the type of employee you are looking to hire. His partnering with search firms to get great candidates and managing the internal overhead processes allows the hiring manager to focus on the talent, not the process.
As a candidate, Lee was fantastic at providing insights into the role and the process and providing the soft coaching on how to approach the opportunity. He was focused on getting the right person AND enabling every candidate to put their best foot forward. I heartily recommend Lee.”

“Lee’s honest and straightforward approach is invaluable. He helped me craft an executive-level resume in a short time frame, and his coaching enabled me to be fully prepared for both video and in-person interviews. Lee's wealth of experience in executive search and the executive talent marketplace added significant value each step of the way. His guidance was tailored to my exact situation, giving me the confidence that comes with being well-prepared. I strongly recommend Lee to any executive who is pursuing internal career advancement or a career transition.”

Senior Vice President, Corporate Marketing @ Beyond Trust
I am writing to enthusiastically recommend Lee Pearlman as an executive coach. Lee has been an invaluable partner in helping me navigate my career as a senior executive, and I am grateful for the clarity, confidence, and strategic insight that our work together has brought me.
Lee has a rare ability to balance honest, challenging feedback with genuine encouragement and support. He consistently helped me see complex issues more clearly, from organizational dynamics to personal leadership style, and has guided me toward solutions that were both practical and authentic to me.
One of Lee’s greatest strengths is his deep understanding of executive challenges. He knows firsthand the pressures of senior leadership and brings both empathy and rigor to his coaching. He helped me refine my decision-making approach, communicate more effectively, and think more deliberately about my long-term goals.
Beyond his skill and experience, Lee is simply a pleasure to work with: trustworthy, highly professional, and deeply committed to success. I would recommend him without hesitation to any senior leader looking for a coach who combines strategic acumen with true personal insight.

— Zach Herscovici
Director of Sales and Business Development, BI Worldwide
Working with Lee at MaxBridge was a game-changer for me.
As an executive who’s navigated prior transitions, I know how important it is to have someone in your corner who truly listens and understands the unique challenges at this level. Lee did exactly that.
He took the time to really get to know my goals, asked the right questions, and helped me clarify my strategy for what I wanted next in my career. He offered candid advice and a fresh perspective that helped me make confident, well-considered decisions about my next steps.
Even as a leader, it’s not always easy to ask for help, but Lee made it comfortable, productive, and even energizing. He’s an excellent partner and sounding board for any executive thinking about their next move.
I’d highly recommend talking with him if you want a clear plan and someone who will challenge and support you along the way.
— Colman Brodsky, MBA
Vice President, Client Partner & Delivery Head
“I had a great experience working with Lee during my job search. He brought structure and processes to the table, but more importantly, he took the time to understand my needs and didn't try to force me into anything that wasn't right for me. Lee provided valuable support with interview preparation, leveraging his extensive network and offering strategic advice. He was honest and always available to chat or provide updates. Whether you're currently unemployed or simply exploring new opportunities while employed, I highly recommend working with Lee.”
– Jason Bloomfield, MBA
Director, Airline Partnerships at Hopper
Lee was fantastic to work with during my time with MaxBridge Executive Career Transition Services. He not only helped me sharpen my interview skills and better position my experience, but he also gave me the tools and mindset to navigate the job search process more confidently.
What really stood out was how he helped me work through the frustration of interview denials and kept me focused on the bigger picture. His coaching felt both professional and personal, like having a true partner in the process.
I’d recommend Lee to anyone going through a career transition or preparing for executive-level interviews. He’s knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely invested in your success.
– Benjamin Sutton
Senior Director of M&A, Asbury Automotive
I didn't think I needed a coach. I've never had a problem finding my 'next' job, but this time I wanted something different. I wanted the perfect next step in my career. So I took a bold leap and hired a coach. I hired Lee Pearlman. I had no idea what I was about to unleash.
Working with Lee has been nothing short of transformative. He sees the full arc of your story. He sees potential where others hesitate, and knows exactly how to push, challenge, and inspire you when it matters most.
What sets Lee apart is his ability to build a strategy that is completely aligned with who you are. He works with insight, precision, and relentless positivity. Under his guidance, I landed the role I once thought was out of reach.
It is impossible to overestimate the value of having the right person in your corner who can see the path forward and help you navigate it with clarity and confidence. That’s what Lee does.
