15 Years as CEO: Reflections on a Milestone Anniversary

Link Consulting Services is 15 years old this week! What a rollercoaster ride it’s been.
Today, we’re an Inc. 5000 ranked company. 15 years ago, I was a young woman with big dreams and a deep passion to deliver value to my clients.
I knew I could make a difference by delivering the very best candidates and providing unbeatable service. I wanted each of my clients to feel like I was a key member of their team, always thinking outside the box to quickly resolve their challenges.
If I made a difference for my clients (by finding them the perfect candidates and providing cost-optimization strategies), they could make a difference for their employees and customers.
I’ve built that sense of responsibility and passion into my company over the last decade and a half. In fact, that is what’s kept me going through the hard times.
When I started Link Consulting Services in Mexico City, I lived by myself in a new country far away from family and friends. I was young, unpretentious, and struggling with insecurities.
But my drive to make a difference was like a fire inside me. When it got a little trampled, it always came back stronger.
Over the years of challenges and wins, big and small, I gained confidence.
I’m so thankful for those formative years in Mexico and all of the clients who believed in me and my team--many who are still clients today! I deeply value our dedicated partnerships and the opportunity to be a part of your team.
I’m thankful for all of the specialists throughout the years who chose Link Consulting Services for representation. You trusted us to care for you and your career and we’ve always done our best to honor that trust.
And of course, Link Consulting Services would not be anything without our fantastic employees. You go above and beyond every day to serve our clients and specialists. In a recent survey, our clients rated us 9.8 out of 10 and specialists rated us 9.5 out of 10. That’s a direct result of your dedication and passion.
The road to our 15-year anniversary hasn’t been easy, but it has been incredibly rewarding. I’m grateful to have built a company and a team that I’m proud of.
Cheers to the next 15 years.

4 年Congratulations Natalia Sans and Link Consulting Services (LinkCS)! This article was inspirational to read, as someone who is 2 years into my own business, fueled by ideas and ideals and that same fire you described. There are days and even weeks when that drive seems to slip away, or I question whether it’s worth it or the work is that important. Then it comes back double when I see the proof, the progress, and the impact. I admire you and your success and hope to write a similar article 13 years from now! Thanks to Mark Lane for liking this so it appeared in my feed.
