The Leadership Insider series: https://lnkd.in/dCkhA7r4 Are you a leader who is comfortable with being uncomfortable? If so, your skills are in demand! In today’s business landscape steeped in uncertainty, the value of cross-industry experience and the mindset of ‘being comfortable with being uncomfortable’ cannot be overstated. Leaders who have transitioned between diverse fields bring a wealth of knowledge and innovative perspectives that can drive significant transformation within organizations. More often than not, hiring beyond traditional industry boundaries challenges the status quo and underscores the importance of diverse skill sets in achieving strategic goals. Take Abe Salloum‘s journey, for instance. Abe has most recently served as Executive Vice President and COO at Tecomet, Inc, a global leader in the design, development, and manufacturing of orthopedic and robotic-assisted, and minimally invasive surgical products as well as a leading manufacturer of precision components to the Aerospace and Defense industry. His career spans various industries, from automotive to oil and gas, and since 2017 in the medical device industry with Tecomet and GE Healthcare, each move enriching his expertise and broadening his understanding of complex business environments. Abe’s ability to seamlessly transfer skills across sectors showcases the immense potential of cross-industry and skills-first hiring. In this article, Margaret Jaouadi explores Abe’s experiences and how his varied career path has shaped his leadership style and contributed to his success in different roles. And, what lessons companies can learn to hire inspirational and impactful leaders who can drive transformation and secure their business’s future. Special thanks go to Dan Rodgers, Head of Sector of Pharmaceuticals & Life Sciences, Americas at Pacific International Executive Search, for introducing Abe Salloum to Margaret Jaouadi. #LeadershipSkills #StrategicThinking #DiversityOfThought

Please join us in celebrating Claire Butcher's 6th anniversary with Pacific International Executive Search! What a journey it has been so far! Claire embarked on her journey with our London office in 2018 as a Research Consultant. Her outstanding ability to deliver global executive search mandates, build trusted client and candidate relationships, and champion diversity initiatives led to her rapid promotion to Key Account Manager and eventually to Client Partner. In September 2022, Claire realized a lifelong dream by transferring to our US office. Now based in Philadelphia, Claire is instrumental in driving our business forward, focusing on senior-level search and advancing diversity and inclusion leadership strategies. She has successfully executed over 150 strategic executive search mandates, consistently achieving exceptional results for our clients. Please join Adam Nuzie, Kathryn Williams, and the entire Pacific International Executive Search team in congratulating Claire Butcher on this remarkable milestone. We wish her continued success in the years to come. #gratitude #wearepacific #strongertogether

The combination of stepping out of the office to gain some perspective, mixed with the sun, great food, and most of all amazing company of colleagues from around the world generated this unique energy that will sustain and motivate us for weeks to come! Thanks, everybody for the great memories!
A couple of weeks ago, I had an incredible four-day off-site in Lisbon with colleagues from our US, German, and UK offices, attending the annual sales conference. We used the 4 days to consider how we can improve, leveling up relationships with customers, setting expectations and some exciting new value-added services that our clients have been asking us for, and of course, discussing market trends we're seeing towards the end of 2024. A highlight was escaping the conference room to explore the city and squeeze in some bouldering. While many sectors experienced a slowdown in the first six months of this year, including pockets of the high-growth Renewable Energy sector, particularly in solar, there is promising news. Recent conversations with industry leaders worldwide indicate a warming demand, especially in the C&I/Utility compared with residential markets. Additionally, with increased investment in Renewables, several distributors continue to weather the storm and expand into new countries with the support of Pacific International Executive Search.

https://lnkd.in/dq--u9Mr In a candidate-driven market, several critical factors determine the success of Executive Search mandates in the #RenewableEnergy sector. This case study explores how Pacific International Executive Search navigated these challenges to secure a high-impact commercial team, facilitating Amara NZero's Wind Division expansion into the US. Boaz Soifer, Chief Executive Officer – USA at Amara NZero, commented: “The team at Pacific International was a great fit for building out our US Wind business. Ellie and her colleagues were responsive and professional, keeping us updated as the candidate pool was developed and screened and supporting offers and negotiations. They were also flexible – since the business was nascent, our idea for the team evolved during the hiring process, and Pacific stayed in lockstep with us through the changes. Most importantly, they had the right combination of knowing the market and being willing to learn, so they could deliver value on day one and understand our needs more thoroughly as the process progressed. I look forward to working with Pacific International Executive Search again in the future!” Congratulations to the Pacific team who delivered this exciting project: Rupert Haffenden, Eleanor LaFountain, and Erica Pope. For a confidential chat about how Pacific International Executive Search can assist you with your #Cleantech and Renewable Energy Talent Acquisitions and #Diversity challenges, please contact Rupert Haffenden.

The Leadership Insider Series: https://lnkd.in/dFdFxDHc In today’s rapidly changing business environment, skills-first recruiting has emerged as a critical approach for organizations looking to stay competitive. This strategy emphasizes hiring based on core competencies and attributes rather than strictly adhering to industry-specific experience. Companies recognize the benefits of cross-industry expertise and the value of leaders who, throughout their careers, have demonstrated a capacity to thrive amid uncertainty. In this context, Theresa Rynard, a seasoned executive with extensive experience across multiple industries, exemplifies the value of this approach. From her roles in consulting, property, mining, retail, energy, and finance to her leadership positions at American Express, Rio Tinto, and CBRE, Theresa has consistently demonstrated the importance of adaptability and curiosity. Her career transitions have broadened her skill set and provided unique insights that have driven significant organizational growth and transformation. In this interview with Margaret Jaouadi, Theresa shares her journey, highlighting the strategic advantages of embracing diverse experiences and the critical skills needed to lead effectively in today’s dynamic business landscape. "Having a board or senior leadership team with the same industry experience and skills doesn’t provide the diversity of thought needed; it leads to groupthink. Groupthink is fine if you’re on the right path, but when a disruptor comes along or you stumble, you need diverse perspectives to stay ahead." Special thanks go to Jennifer Congdon, Chief Human Resources Officer at M Financial Group, for introducing Theresa to Margaret. #leadershipskills #strategicthinking #innovation #executivesearch
