The challenge
Two senior, market-defining hires in parallel, in a region where the relevant talent pool is small, mostly passive, and tightly held by competitors. Speed mattered, but the cost of getting either hire wrong was higher.
Our approach
A dedicated executive search team led by a senior partner. Full market mapping for both roles before the first call, structured competency assessment, and discreet outreach to senior in-market operators. Parallel pipelines kept timelines aligned without sacrificing depth.
The outcome
Both VP roles closed inside the planned window, with placed candidates leading regional growth within their first quarter. The relationship has since extended into ongoing leadership advisory.
