CEO Executive Search & Succession Planning

A CEO hire is often the most important hire a company can make. In recent years, the criteria for what makes a successful CEO or President has (and is continuing to) evolve. Where a candidate’s previous experience within a particular industry, environment, or company size was once a nonnegotiable prerequisite, this is no longer always the case. 

With 45+ years of CEO and President recruiting expertise, we are finding that past performance will still offer analytical insight, but we’re entering a new era where precedents are not the reliable predictors they once were. When complex systems like the economy or job market bring uncertainty to the business landscape, businesses need to recruit a new generation of leaders who bring fresh, creative, and outside-the-box perspectives to the C-Suite.

That’s why at JM Search, we’ve built a highly experienced and deeply connected team of C-suite recruiting experts dedicated to matching exceptional leaders with high-growth and transformative businesses across private equity-backed, private, and public companies. Our specialized recruiting teams include former CEOs that know first-hand the critical importance of getting it right when working at the executive level and we are dedicated to supporting the ever-evolving needs of our clients and their businesses. Since 1980, we’ve expected nothing less and neither should you.
