Leadership Search for the HVAC, Refrigeration & Thermal Industry

Executive Search

Built for High-Stakes Leadership Hires

Executive & Leadership Search is designed for senior roles where the cost of a mistake is massive and the impact of a great hire is truly transformational.

At this level, one person can change the trajectory of the business, for better or for worse, and the consequences of getting it wrong are felt for years, not months.

These are the people who:

• Set strategy
• Run large teams and P&Ls
• Shape culture and standards
• Drive growth, margin, and execution

This is not resume sourcing. This is targeted, confidential leadership search.
