“We founded Green Park in 2006 with a mission to change the face of leadership. We retain that same passion and entrepreneurial spirit today as when we started.”
The Context
Green Park were contacted to help with the search for an interim CPO and interim COO at the British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS).
Founded in 1968, with more than 55 years of healthcare heritage Operates a network of 44+ clinics across the UK Supports more than 100,000 women annually The UK’s leading specialist provider of abortion and reproductive healthcare services. A new relationship for Green Park BPAS was at the start of a significant transformation programme and needed experienced leadership to support the organisation through this next phase.
The Challenge
BPAS typically recruits directly rather than using executive search firms. However, when they were unable to attract the right calibre of candidates for a permanent CPO role, they decided to appoint an interim CPO for an initial two-month period who could start immediately. Following the appointment of the Interim CPO, BPAS found themselves also needing an Interim COO. The organisation had been recruiting directly for a Deputy COO but again struggled to attract the right calibre of candidates. Given the importance of the transformation programme, the CEO decided to appoint an Interim COO for 12 months to provide immediate leadership and ensure momentum was maintained. Both roles were critical to the organisation and needed to be filled at a pivotal stage of the transformation. BPAS needed highly experienced individuals who could start at short notice and bring relevant sector knowledge and leadership experience.
Our Approach
For the CPO role, Green Park identified a strong candidate from its existing network and was able to make an appointment within 48 hours of taking the brief. The COO appointment required a more extensive search across Green Park’s candidate networks to identify a credible shortlist of highly experienced candidates with the right leadership and sector background. The focus throughout was on identifying individuals who could provide immediate impact and leadership at a critical point in BPAS’s transformation journey.
The Outcome
Caren Thomas was appointed as Interim CPO and Davinder Virdi was appointed as Interim COO. Both appointments provided BPAS with experienced interim leadership at a crucial stage of its transformation programme, enabling the organisation to maintain momentum while progressing its longer-term leadership requirements.
