Our Strategy, Your Hiring Success
Building Strategies For Growth
A global manufacturer and supplier of certified organic and non-GMO ingredients approached Curtis Food Recruiters to lead its search for a Chief Executive Officer. They needed to fill the role quickly with a candidate focused on strategy and innovation, and who aligned with their company’s mission of positively impacting people and the environment.
The Goal
The executive in this role would be responsible for building a corporate strategy aligned with the senior leadership team’s vision for commercial growth. They needed a leader with experience successfully leading innovation for value-added products, and the ability to achieve profitability goals in a softening market with significant global economic and supply chain challenges.
The Challenge
The company’s current Chief Executive Officer had already left the role, and its Founder had left three years prior. With key leaders gone and a new culture still evolving, speed to fill for this role was vital.
The Solution
Our team’s expertise and diligence resulted in an offer being made to a qualified candidate within 50 days of launching the search. The new Chief Executive Officer made immediate progress in stabilizing the company and developing the team with their input. The quick placement reduced leadership’s stress levels and alleviated feelings of uncertainty throughout the company.
