The right leader understands
the operation.

A central plant, a patient-care tower and a research campus each demand different experience. A strong search starts with the systems, workforce, operating risks and leadership scope behind the title.

Since 2009, The Sexton Group has focused on facilities leadership. We distinguish leaders of day-to-day plant operations from executives responsible for multiple sites, capital programs and long-term infrastructure strategy.
