Nexus Search Partners Appoints Sam Worobec as Managing Director, Human Capital

Firm Deepens Strategic Focus on People-Centered Leadership, Search, and Advisory


 

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (April 3, 2025) — Nexus Search Partners, a purpose-driven executive search and advisory firm, is proud to announce the appointment of Sam Worobec as Managing Director, Human Capital. A nationally recognized leader in people strategy and organizational design, Worobec brings more than two decades of experience helping companies scale performance while preserving the cultural elements that make them unique.

Most recently, Worobec served as Senior Vice President and Head of Central Talent at Red Ventures, where he led global executive recruiting, leadership development, talent management, and analytics. Previously, he created Chipotle Mexican Grill’s leadership development and internal communications platforms as their Director of Training, Internal Communications & Operations Services.

Across both organizations, he designed leadership ecosystems that hired, developed, and promoted tens of thousands of leaders annually from within.

“Sam has a rare ability to scale culture and capability at the same time,” said Thaddeus Jones, Founder and Managing Partner of Nexus Search Partners. “His vision and values are tightly aligned with how we serve our clients—and where we’re going as a firm.”

A Builder for the Future of Work

Known for his ability to lead through transformation, Sam brings a future-forward mindset to his role at Nexus.

“I’ve always been drawn to where the world is going—not where it’s been,” said Worobec. “AI and workforce transformation will reshape HR as we know it—but human-centered leadership will matter more than ever.”

In his new role, Worobec will lead and expand Nexus’ capabilities at the intersection of executive search, talent strategy, and organizational alignment—helping clients evolve not just their teams, but their systems and ways of working.

Expanding Nexus’ Human Capital Focus

Worobec’s appointment marks a strategic evolution in how Nexus partners with clients on Human Capital, blending three integrated pillars:

  • Executive Search for senior HR and talent leaders who align with where organizations are going—not just where they’ve been

  • Advisory Services to help HR teams scale leadership development, recruiting, analytics, and performance strategy

  • A Community of Practice for HR and people executives to connect, share insight, and define what value creation looks like in a changing world

“The future of HR will look fundamentally different in the next five years,” Worobec added. “To lead through that change, organizations need more than great hires—they need aligned leadership, cohesive teams, and clear strategy. That’s what we’re building at Nexus.”

What’s Ahead

This announcement represents the beginning of a larger strategic direction for Nexus. As the firm continues to evolve, it will deepen its Human Capital capabilities and invest in new ways to support CHROs, people leaders, and talent-focused organizations.

“Sam is helping us think bigger about what Human Capital means in today’s business landscape,” said Jones. “We’re excited about what’s ahead—and this is just the beginning.”
