Headhunting Services WithNo Upfront Costs
Up to 365-Day Replacement Coverage, First Candidates in 2-3 Weeks
We are pleased to showcase placements that exemplify our passion for search.
Background checks were done through Verifile, and the candidate started with the business on October 1, the contract having been signed with the outgoing leadership in Stockholm. The business had recently changed hands, and the finance function was still forming when he joined. The search delivered a CFO who met all criteria at a salary most candidates at his level would pass on. Keller Executive Search ran the process to the deadline on an exclusive direct headhunt basis with no acquisition disclosure. The reporting line was changed before his start date; he would report directly into US leadership from day one.
That last interview was the clincher, and the firm offered him a job soon after he returned. The checks were clean, and the new CFO joined in accordance with the agreed notice and handover plan. His plant finance work and strong career fit the criteria laid out at the beginning of the search. The outgoing leader remained on for a set period to hand over reports, budgets, and group links. Keller Executive Search placed a CFO who was ready for the daily needs of the plant and long-term work with the senior team.
The new executive had built his career in transportation and logistics with experience in asset-based trucking, owner-operator models, and agent-based freight brokerage. He had more than ten years of experience leading cross-functional teams in finance, operations, IT, and HR; had direct P&L responsibility; and built new lines of business from scratch, including a domestic brokerage operation that he launched and scaled from inception. His working knowledge of the owner-operator model gave him the operational context to understand the business from the inside, not just the financial structure.
