Leadership

KEITH SCHROEDER

Founder and President

Recruiting is more than a profession for me - it's a passion. I love helping organizations find the right talent and working side by side with candidates to discover roles where they can grow, succeed, and feel fulfilled.

 

Since 2006, I've partnered with Fortune 500 companies, leading consulting firms, and boutique organizations, focusing exclusively on compensation roles at all levels. By specializing in this niche, I'm able to offer deep expertise, thoughtful guidance, and a truly personalized experience - so every placement feels like a win.

How we got our name

The Nellie Group is named in honor of keith's late grandmother, Nellie "Johnnie" Schroeder, who had a profound influence on his life. Born and raised in England, she served as a Labor and Delivery nurse in London during World War II, embodying courage, resilience, and quiet strength. Although she passed away while keith was in college, her example continues to guide him. he strives to lead his work with the same integrity and determination she lived by - values he hopes would make her proud.
