Trey Hugley

President

After graduating college from Texas A&M University, Trey found his home in Executive Search. Working in the industry, he sought to build a brand that recognizes the importance of building partnerships with both clients and candidates to establish trusting and long-lasting relationships. Out of this desire, Trey founded Genesis Resources - where he operates as the President/CEO to this day. However, he sought to build another organization, where recruitment could truly operate as a service instead of an exchange. Trey founded Genesis Industries in 2014 after many years of executive search, so he could finally give partners a recruitment service that is less transactional and more service-based.

"Building Genesis has been a group effort. I wouldn't be here without the outstanding people I get to work with every day, clients, candidates, and employees alike."

Yemi Branaman

Senior Vice President

After working for a few different firms as either operations or recruiting, Yemi married the two roles and joined Genesis in 2013 as the Operations Manager. Her skills in management elevated her to Vice President of Operations in September 2018. Yemi takes on a variety of Operations projects in her new position and has helped Genesis further grow and develop.

"My favorite thing is the family atmosphere at Genesis. Everyone works together, supports each other, and learns from each other. I personally love learning from Trey and helping him grow Genesis to where he wants it to be."

Kaitlyn Nobel-Mangum

AVP, Practice Lead

Kaitlyn is the AVP, Practice Lead at Genesis Industries. After originally working for Genesis in 2013, she came back in April 2024 to help build Genesis Industries to its full potential. She is a TCU graduate and greatly enjoys helping the aerospace engineering industry.

" I enjoy working as AVP, Practice Lead on the Industries side of Genesis because I have been given the unique opportunity to expand the business into having an engineering recruiting practice. The autonomy is what I value the most, because I have control over my own success. Coming from the corporate world, that is not something that is offered."
