Practice Areas
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
AV Search Partners’ Chief Executive Officer Practice recognizes the increasing demands and responsibilities placed upon CEOs in both publicly traded and privately held companies.
Our job is two-fold: keeping abreast of universal governance and understanding the unique challenges facing each CEO and his/her board of directors. Our CEO Practice Group has conducted CEO assignments for public and private companies across the breadth of industry sectors and market capital size. This significant domain knowledge and functional expertise is coupled with geographic and cultural affinity in each marketplace to ensure AV Search Partners builds the right engagement team and is your partner of choice in each unique assignment.
Our CEO Practice Group combines seasoned executive search consultants — who are members of prestigious and influential boards — with industry thought leaders with deep expertise in our clients’ specific business models. The insights and perspectives gained in these roles allow our consultants to serve as valuable resources in the execution of CEO searches. Leveraging this experience, our consultants have come to recognize that the key elements in a successful board and senior executive team include: cohesion, trust, respect, diversity of opinion and capability, and chemistry.

DIGITAL AND DATA
Our consultants have led projects across the digital, data, and analytics space, identifying strong leaders who understand how data and analytics can help drive growth, innovation, and business success.
