IRVINE, CA / ACCESS Newswire / July 1, 2026 / CooperDouglas proudly announces that Managing Partner and co-founder Lily Mirhashemi has been nominated for Best Female Executive of the Year, recognizing her leadership, entrepreneurial vision, and lasting impact on the executive search industry.

Since co-founding CooperDouglas, Mirhashemi has helped redefine executive recruiting by combining deep accounting and finance expertise with a relationship-first approach. Under her leadership, the firm has become a trusted partner for organizations seeking exceptional finance and accounting talent, serving everyone from Fortune 500 companies to high-growth startups.

Reflecting on the nomination, Mirhashemi shared: “Being nominated is an incredible honor. I hope our success at CooperDouglas inspires other women to bet on themselves, even when timing feels uncertain. Some of the most rewarding opportunities in my life came from having the confidence to pursue ambitious goals long before I had all the answers. Boldness paired with consistent hard work will make you stand out.”
