Starfish Partners Welcomes Scott Huey as Managing Partner Joining Kaye/Bassman International Construction Practice
Plano, TX – Starfish Partners, an international investment and ownership platform for specialized professional and executive search firms, proudly announces the acquisition of Huey Enterprises, Inc. (HEI), led by industry expert Scott Huey. As part of this transition, Scott will join Kaye/Bassman International Corp. (KBIC), a Starfish Partners company, as Managing Partner, working alongside Lee Martin, Managing Director of KBIC’s Midwest-focused Construction Practice, to expand the firm’s presence across the commercial real estate and construction industries.
Huey Enterprises, Inc. (HEI) has been a respected name in executive search since 1983. The partnership with Kaye/Bassman brings together two firms with more than 80 years of combined expertise in delivering top-tier recruiting solutions.
Scott brings extensive experience as the former Owner, President, and CEO of Huey Enterprises, where he focused on securing executive and professional level talent for Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), Private Equity firms, Private Owner/Developers, Brokerage Firms, Family Offices and General Contractors. With a proven track record in executive search, deep industry knowledge, and an expansive network, he is a valuable asset to clients seeking transformative talent in today’s real estate market. By aligning with Kaye/Bassman’s Construction search team, he strengthens the value delivered to clients across both industries, offering an integrated approach that bridges commercial real estate and construction talent needs while providing access to a broader, more strategic pool of leadership candidates throughout the Midwest.
“Scott’s recruiting expertise aligns perfectly with our mission to deliver client-focused, high-impact search solutions,” says Lee Martin, Managing Director at Kaye/Bassman International. “His addition to our construction and commercial real estate practice strengthens our ability to provide exceptional value to clients navigating today’s competitive talent landscape.”
In his new role, Scott will expand KBIC’s footprint in the real estate sector while building on nearly 22 years of executive search experience. Concentrating on the Midwest U.S. market, Scott and the Kaye/Bassman Construction team will bring significant value to organizations throughout the region by helping them identify, attract, and secure the right leaders to drive growth and long-term success. Leveraging the added benefit of the broader Starfish Partners network, Scott’s clients also gain access to an even deeper pool of talent and resources across multiple industries nationwide.
“I am truly excited to be joining Kaye/Bassman as Managing Partner and to collaborate with Lee Martin and the construction team,” says Scott Huey. “Kaye/Bassman’s values and client-centered approach mirror my own, and I look forward to bringing my expertise to help firms build the strong, visionary leadership they need to thrive in today’s market.”
