Denise Wilkerson is the founder and CEO of Global Edge Recruiting®, a premier executive search and recruitment firm.

Born in NYC and raised in a small town in Missouri, Denise started her career in nursing -first in oncology, where she worked in the hospital as a staff nurse, and then for a hospice where she managed a team of nurses. After managing a large women’s healthcare clinic for a local hospital, she decided to start her own business and opened Global Edge Recruiting® in 1997. Since that time, Denise has assisted hundreds of Fortune 500 and small start-up companies by recruiting their top talent and assisting them with day-to-day human resources and organizational development needs.

On a professional note, Denise has a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing, as well as a Master’s in Human Resource Development and a Senior Professional Human Resources certification (SPHR). Her love for innovative medical products and devices, as well as her passion for assisting individuals with career development led her to healthcare recruitment.
