This leader was to be located in North America to spread their on the ground presence of global exco.
The Outcome
Green Park delivered a highly competitive shortlist consisting of US nationals on the ground and those returning home from global postings. These leaders all coming from highly complex, heavily matrixed global organisations with multiple product and service lines leading to the ultimate appointment of Jen Burns as Chief Commercial Officer.
"There are moments that happen in life that feel like fate. I was contacted by Green Park about my current executive role at BSI - they found me, the job is a perfect match and the entire recruiting process was smooth as could be. But this wasn't fate - it came through the hard work, diligence, professionalism, collaboration and partnership with Paul and his team. I could not have asked for a better experience working with an executive recruiting firm and my journey with BSI has everything to do with the work they do to find the very best matched candidates for a role. Any organisation would highly benefit from working with Paul and his team - they are world class. I look forward to our continued and long-term work together!"
