CASE STUDY
Industry: Services
Engagement Type: Retained Executive Search
Client Context
The client was a successful founder-led services business where the
founder had decided to step back from day-to-day operations and
focus on strategic matters.
The Challenge
The role required:
This was as much a relationship and trust transition as a business one.
The Outcome
A professional CEO was appointed, enabling the founder to step back
while the business continued to scale in a more structured manner.
Why This Engagement Was Complex
Founder transitions fail not because of capability, but because of
misaligned expectations and trust dynamics.
