Meet The Team

Celeste Ching is the Founder and CEO of C Three Partners, a boutique executive search firm established in 2018. She partners with private-equity-backed organizations, growth-stage businesses, and established enterprises to identify leadership talent that drives revenue growth, operational excellence, and organizational transformation.

Before founding C Three Partners, Celeste brought more than a decade of enterprise sales experience to executive recruiting. Her expertise spans technology, security, intelligent infrastructure, mobility, and facility services, with a particular focus on executive leadership, sales, and operations.

She believes exceptional talent can transform not only an organization's performance but also an individual's career trajectory.

Before C Three Partners, I was involved in several real estate and oil & gas ventures. Most recently, I was the President of a private oil & gas company. My experiences starting and growing companies have given me a unique insight into hiring and talent recruiting. My experiences included oil & gas, accounting & finance, real estate, private equity, capital raising, SAAS products and implementation, operations, engineering, legal, and HR. I am a licensed attorney in Texas and a Licensed Real Estate Broker.   

We live in Dallas with our four young children and two British labs. I love spending time with my family, growing in my Catholic faith, reading, enjoying the outdoors, wake surfing, traveling, and watching TCU football. I am an amateur wine and bourbon enthusiast.
