Toolan, with his remarkable passion for the nonprofit sector and vast experience in Advancement and executive search, is poised to significantly contribute to the growing firm's continued success.
For more than 30 years, John has been deeply engaged with the nonprofit sector. His initial foray into Advancement during college laid the foundation for a successful career in the domain. His time in Advancement roles at both a large public university and a small private college enhanced his comprehensive understanding of the distinct needs of higher education. Recognizing the critical role of leadership in team building and results, John has consistently advocated for strong leadership in all his endeavors.
Prior to joining Cooper Coleman LLC, John showcased his recruitment expertise by dedicating six years to leadership roles at a boutique firm specializing in nonprofit executive search. His remarkable leadership led to Forbes' and Statista's acknowledgment of his firm as one of America's Best Executive Recruiting Firms. Moreover, the company earned accolades from Hunt Scanlon, including Top 50 Higher Education Recruiters, Top 60 Nonprofit Recruiters, and HR/Diversity Recruiting Power 65.
John's wide-ranging experience encompasses various leadership roles in education, healthcare, NGOs, and other nonprofits. This diverse exposure has provided him with opportunities to collaborate with some of the nation's premier educational institutions, healthcare bodies, grant-making organizations, and emerging nonprofits. As a Certified Diversity and Inclusion Recruiter, John brings a wealth of knowledge in Advancement, best search practices, and new business development. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Communications from Eastern Connecticut State University.
Founder and CEO of Cooper Coleman LLC, Johnny Cooper, expressed his enthusiasm, saying, "Welcoming John into our firm was not a difficult choice. We place exceptional value on authentically representing our clients as if we are members of their teams; centering a rich, dignified candidate experience throughout the search process, whether chosen or not; and putting in the essential work that doesn't necessarily scale but adds untold value to our client organizations. Not every executive recruiter will subscribe to these tenets—John does, and according to his previous colleagues, clients, and candidates, he consistently models these values. His experience, reputation, and deep understanding of the nonprofit and higher ed sectors make him an invaluable asset to the firm, and his humor and warmth, a great compliment to the exceptional group of professionals I am proud to call my team."
Outside of his professional commitments, John and his wife reside in Los Angeles, CA, where they relish traveling, watching baseball games, and cherishing moments with family and friends.
