Brooke Chase Associates
Assignment: 3856
Title: CEO with a Plan
Location: Determined by you
Recruiter: Murray Parker

Introduction

Our private investment clients have access to significant funding sources and seek attractive investments.  Their vehicle of choice is an experienced senior executive with a strong investment thesis.

Position Summary

An exceptional opportunity for you to lead your own growth-business.  Whether you see yourself leading a management buyout of your current business unit or building a segment-leading company via acquisition, this is an opportunity to unlock potential and create significant value.

Industry

Any manufacturing, distribution, transportation, or services enterprise will be considered.  Building materials, high-tech, software, medical device, biotech and clean industries are of particular current interest but any industry segment or niche that will support an attractive growth strategy can qualify.

Location:

Determined by your investment thesis.

Accountabilities:

You will be expected to present an investment idea and facilitate its development into a formal investment thesis and strategy.  When your plan is accepted, you will lead implementation to achieve desired goals.  This can encompass:

  • Creating a corporate vision, culture, goals and action plans
  • Leading the acquisition and integration of multiple businesses
  • Transitioning your business to an independent enterprise with its own unique culture
  • Assessing, acquiring, developing and inspiring the leadership  team to implement your vision
  • Leveraging the board, external and internal resources to their fullest
  • Leading the business to meet or exceed defined goals

Requires:

The successful CEO will have demonstrated the ability to turnaround, unlock potential, create disruptive growth or otherwise lead a business to exceed expectations.  Ideally this has been demonstrated more than once.  Given that foundation, you must bring an investment thesis to the table.  For example, a plan to spin-out the business unit of a larger corporation that you currently lead.  Or perhaps a strategy to consolidate a few smaller companies into a platform that you can then grow into a segment leading enterprise.  Regardless of the plan, investors expect you to have in-depth knowledge of your target industry.

Dimensions:

You will be expected to demonstrate the personal dimensions and capabilities concurrent with leadership success.  These include proactivity, adaptability, high energy, integrity, interpersonal effectiveness, strategic perspective and communications ability.
