the institution.
A hospital board choosing a chief executive, a university appointing a dean and a health system replacing its CFO each need more than a list of résumés. A strong search starts with the organization: its priorities, its people and what the new leader must accomplish.
Since 2009 we have built our practice on that discipline. Facilities leadership remains our deepest specialty; the same personal, rigorous approach now serves executive, finance, human resources and academic searches.
