A mission-driven senior living organization partnered with us to identify and hire a new CEO—someone who could honor the nonprofit’s legacy while driving greater operational efficiency. The board was aligned on the need for transformative leadership, but navigating the process with clarity and speed was critical.
We worked closely with a board member and the outgoing CEO, providing ongoing support and engaging in candid conversations beyond formal check-ins. This created a collaborative environment that allowed for strategic decision-making at every step.
Early in the process, we identified a high-potential candidate who was not only a cultural fit but brought the exact leadership profile the organization needed. Rather than slow the process with additional interviews, we moved forward quickly to avoid losing momentum—or the candidate.
With a strong offer and onboarding strategy in place, the candidate accepted and transitioned smoothly into the role. This search illustrates the power of clear communication, decisive action, and aligning leadership needs with long-term vision.
