Bio
Virginia “Ginny” Clarke joined Google in 2016 as Director, Leadership Staffing, based in Mountain View, CA. In this role, she leads the Diversity, Internal Mobility, and the Non-tech Recruiting teams. Her team of North American recruiters finds and hires senior leaders (Directors +) for finance, sales, marketing, and other G&A functions across Google.
Before Google, Ginny was a Partner at Spencer Stuart, the global executive search firm, based in Chicago. For 12 years, she worked in the firm’s Financial Services and Financial Officer Practices, and co-founded and led Spencer Stuart’s Global Diversity Practice. She left Spencer Stuart to write a book called “Career Mapping: Charting Your Course in the New World of Work,” which was published in 2011. The book provides a framework that empowers individuals to plot and assess their professional competencies and strategically navigate their careers.
After the book was published, Ginny ran her executive search and talent management firm for three years before becoming a Senior Partner for Executive Search in the U.S. at Knightsbridge, a Canadian human capital solutions firm.
Ginny started her career in banking at First National Bank of Chicago (now Chase). After a short stint, she spent several years in the real estate investment management business with Jones Lang LaSalle (“JLL”) and Prudential Real Estate Investors. Her responsibilities included asset management, portfolio management, capital raising, and client servicing.
She earned her BA in French and Linguistics from the University of California at Davis and her MBA from Northwestern University’s Kellogg School. Ginny is the single mother of an adult son, Julian, who works in the entertainment industry.
