Finding the leader who was not looking

SectorSpecialty manufacturing
MandateDirector of Applications Development
Proof pointAn industry leader ready for a better fit
The challenge

A specialty manufacturer needed an Applications Development Director to lead nearly 30 developers. The company needed more than technical expertise; it needed the right leadership fit.

The result

Rowbottom Partners identified a talented technology leader in the same industry who was not actively looking but was ready for a stronger cultural and organizational fit.

Why it matters

Great candidates are often working somewhere else. Finding them requires relationships, credibility and a compelling reason to consider a move.
