About Us

TwentyThree North (23 North) was founded by Charlie Tarone in 2025, following a decade of success in executive search and recruiting in Los Angeles and greater Southern California. With extensive experience helping companies ranging from Fortune 100 firms to PE-backed middle-market companies, as well as pre-revenue, VC-backed startups, Charlie decided to create his own firm to offer a more personalized and results-driven approach to client needs.

Before transitioning into executive search, Charlie built a strong foundation in both corporate finance and investment finance. His diverse career includes hands-on experience in Fortune 500 companies, as well as in the fast-paced startup world. On the investment side, Charlie honed his analytical skills as a hedge fund analyst, gaining a unique perspective on business strategy and leadership. These varied experiences enable Charlie to understand his clients’ needs at a deep, intricate level, ensuring that no challenge goes unaddressed and that every detail is captured and effectively communicated.

Charlie earned his MBA from the University of Southern California and is a proud father of two.
