Overview
Client: A Chicago-based technology firm
Location: United States
Category: Executive Search
The business needed a new chief executive and an experienced operations leader while protecting commercial confidentiality and maintaining confidence among its employees, investors and customers.
Challenge
The mandate involved two senior appointments with different leadership profiles, a limited candidate market and a requirement to avoid disrupting the organisation’s ongoing transformation. The board needed a structured process that tested strategic judgement, operational capability and cultural fit.
Solution Provided
Erdobar defined a search brief with the board, mapped relevant leadership markets, engaged qualified passive candidates discreetly and managed a staged assessment process. We coordinated structured interviews, leadership references and final offer discussions with clear communication throughout.
Result Achieved
The client secured two complementary leaders with the experience to guide growth, strengthen operating discipline and build confidence across the organisation. The appointments created a stable platform for the next phase of the business plan.
