Our Story

Talent and Career Transition Firm

Our Beginnings

In 2000, Career Management Partners (CMP) was founded with a simple but profound idea: we would provide the highest-touch, compassionate outplacement services possible.

Since 2014, Maryanne Piña and Joe Frodsham have led CMP creating a full-service firm supporting the full talent lifecycle through recruitment, assessment, coaching, leadership development, and outplacement services.

  • Leadership and Board positions on game-changing organizations such as Fast Company Executive Board Member, Arbora Global, SMU Latino Leadership Initiative, Dallas 
  • Dallas Regional Chamber, King Foundation, Latinx Executive Alliance, and others  
  • Active support of broader thought leadership – authoring a book, contributing articles to Forbes, and through the creation of assessment and development solutions for underrepresented communities; see: www.LatinoCareerAssessment.com

Maryanne has become a go-to expert on topics such as addressing the Latino career chasm, supporting employees facing a reduction in force, and multi-cultural workforce. An avid storyteller with an eye for detail, her writing offers powerful insights for creating positive change in organizations — leading her readers to work together to create more fulfilling career paths.
