ABOUT US

The principals, Anne Penny, CPC and Rhoda Warren, CPC, founded Emerson Professionals, Inc. in Boca Raton in 1994.  However, their association didn't begin there.

An industry leader since 1965, Rhoda Warren, 1st woman CPC in Massachusetts, founded Emerson in Boston, Massachusetts in 1976 with her then partner, William Consalvo.  Anne Penny joined them in 1977, became a partner in 1985, and together they grew a relationship-based, award-winning firm with an outstanding reputation.  The five-office operation, employing over forty recruiters, enjoyed prosperity in Boston for 17 years, placing both permanent and temporary personnel.
