From CFO to CEO

Mission

Our client, a leading technology company specializing in testing systems for the automotive and aerospace industries, needed a CFO who could not only strengthen financial operations but also grow into a broader leadership role. The goal was to ensure long-term succession planning as the owner prepared to step back from the business.

​

Approach
We conducted a focused and confidential search for top-tier financial leaders with proven operational expertise and strategic vision. Our selection process emphasized leadership potential, cultural fit, and the ability to guide the company through a future ownership transition.

​

Result
We successfully placed a CFO who quickly optimized financial structures, improved internal reporting, and played a key role in building a stronger executive team. Their leadership impact extended beyond finance, driving operational improvements across the company.

​

Impact
When the owner decided to step down, the CFO was the natural choice for the CEO role. The transition was seamless, maintaining business continuity, reinforcing the company's strategic direction, and positioning it for accelerated growth and innovation.
