A Legacy of Leadership Since June 1977
Meet Dennis J. Knox, the visionary driving excellence in executive search for five decades.
From Finance to a Global Real Estate Powerhouse
In June 1977, Dennis J. Knox founded this firm with a singular focus: Accounting and Finance. For over a decade, he became the go-to partner for placing elite talent across the Audit and CPA spectrum.
The turning point came in 1990, when a major Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) entity engaged Dennis to locate four key Real Estate Development Directors. The overwhelming success of those searches didn't just fill roles; it launched the firm into a new era of specialization.
Every Facet of the Built Environment
Under Dennis’s leadership, the firm’s exposure rapidly expanded. What began with QSR and Casual Dining evolved into a comprehensive mastery of every facet of Real Estate Development, Design, Construction, and Engineering.
Today, Dennis J. Knox & Co. represents a diverse portfolio of sectors, including:
Owner Developers & Multi-Family
Office, Industrial, & Mixed-Use
Hospitality, Hotel, & High-Rise
Retail & Major National General Contractors
Industry-Leading Resources at Your Service
Dennis has spent decades amassing one of the largest and most sophisticated candidate databases in the industry. This resource, combined with high-level affiliations with the top recruiting firms globally, has contributed to countless high-impact hires on both a national and international basis.
"I look forward to being of service as your needs materialize. Our success is built on the premise that your investment in the right people is the most important decision you will make."
— Dennis J. Knox, President
