CEO SEARCH

Every nonprofit board will eventually face the challenge of replacing its CEO. When that time comes, the board must manage the transition effectively, ensuring a transparent and rigorous process that culminates in the selection of the most qualified candidate.

I can provide comprehensive support to your CEO Search Committee throughout the entire search process, from initial planning and candidate sourcing to final selection.

My services include helping your board to:

  • Clearly define the roles and responsibilities of the CEO Search Committee.

  • Develop a comprehensive profile of the ideal candidate, outlining the necessary skills, competencies, and functional expertise required for the organization's current and future needs.

  • Guide the board in sourcing potential applicants.

  • Facilitate the assessment and evaluation of top candidates who meet or exceed the board's key criteria.

  • Design and implement a customized interview process to help the board select the best CEO for your organization.

With more than 20 years of experience leading CEO and executive director searches for nonprofits of all sizes, I help boards identify and recruit the leadership they need to thrive. I have guided organizations through every stage of the search process—from defining the role and engaging stakeholders to evaluating candidates and supporting successful transitions. My approach ensures a thoughtful, inclusive, and strategic search that strengthens leadership, builds confidence in decision-making, and positions the organization for long-term success.
