Our Strategy, Your Hiring Success
Leading with Passion and Innovation
A developer of custom, high-quality products for restaurant chains and food manufacturers approached Curtis Food Recruiters for assistance in hiring a Vice President of Operations. They were searching for a strategic visionary with strong business acumen to lead the company into the future.
The Goal
This was a critical senior executive role that would succeed the President. The client wanted a humble, creative leader capable of carrying on the work of a long-tenured incumbent. Candidates would need the demonstrated ability to implement new systems and processes that would sophisticate the business without polarizing the team.
The Challenge
The company needed more brand recognition in the market, requiring a leader with strong operational and commercial acumen to help drive business growth. With the incumbent departing, there was an escalated sense of urgency in filling the role with someone who could hit the ground running.
The Solution
Our team’s hard work and dedication resulted in placing a seasoned Senior Vice President of Operations within two months, allowing for onboarding with the company’s outgoing leader. The candidate’s warm and engaging leadership style led to significant buy-in from a concerned Operations team; their broader business acumen ultimately led to a promotion to President.
