Our History
The Global Edge Consultants was formed in 2008 in Houston, Texas, the energy capital of the world.
From the start, the Global Edge knew their foundation made them different from other recruitment agencies, and as a result, expansion into the global arena happened quickly. The Global Edge launched its first overseas operation in Singapore in January of 2009. This expansion continued year after year opening several other offices in the US as well as international offices in the UK, Australia, Canada, South Africa, and Mozambique within the next three years.
The Global Edge team of international recruitment specialists continues to expand, with exceptional key players joining the group. We now operate on every major continent, with successful offices now established in Guyana, Brazil, Qatar, and South Korea.
Most importantly, since inception, we have remained committed to our dedication to our people.
Our CEO
Kathy Eberwein, founder and Chief Executive Officer of Global Edge Group, Medical Edge Recruitment, and Global Edge Managed Solutions, is a dynamic leader with over twenty years of experience leading teams in the recruitment arena. Her education and work experience before recruitment comes with a technical background as a Mechanical Engineer in the power and environmental industries.
Kathy’s background includes project development of greenfield cogeneration power plant facilities including project financing, permitting, construction, and engineering of multi-million-dollar projects. Following this, Kathy moved into the environmental engineering field working on complex permitting issues for hazardous waste landfills and incinerators.
Through an unusual circumstance, she stumbled onto technical recruiting and immediately discovered a passion for changing the lives of others through recruitment. Kathy was instrumental and led the initial launch and development of US operations for two of the largest energy staffing firms. Using her own experience as an engineer, combined with the best lessons learned from building two large global recruitment divisions, she ventured out on her own and created the Global Edge Consultants in April of 2008. Kathy is proud to have one of the first woman-owned recruitment agencies in the global arena for the energy industry and continues to expand in size and global footprint. Her vision is to become the agency of choice in the global energy arena as she continues to propel the Global Edge to new levels of growth and excellence.
Kathy has strong family values and is a mother of four children. She has a passion for giving back to the community and in particular, for helping other women in their lives and careers. Kathy volunteers and sits on several boards in addition to the companies she has formed, including the University of Maryland Mechanical Engineering Visiting Committee Board and the Team Phenomenal Hope Board. Kathy has been a huge proponent of social responsibility and has deemed it to be a core value for the Global Edge.
This passion was reflected in 2019 when Kathy founded the Doyenne Initiative, an NGO dedicated to elevating women through higher education and specialized career and leadership development and equipping women to hold the most esteemed and executive roles in their respective fields. The program experienced several obstacles as it was launched; however, Kathy didn’t let that stop her and forged forward with the first cohort of Doyennes. As they prosper, these Doyennes will be role models who influence their countries, communities, families, and generations to come.
