Milan-Based Global Account Director for an LA Agency Expanding Into Europe
Interviews started in mid-March, and by mid-April the managing director had made his choice. They offered €60,000, the candidate negotiated it to €65,000, and requested to be named the Global Account Director, which was agreed upon. Background checks went through with no problem, and the start date was confirmed within the week. Keller Executive Search confirmed the appointment eight weeks after the search was opened, with the candidate in the role by May 4, 2026. The final salary of €65,000 was below the range provided by the client, but this was because of the candidate’s own expectations and not because the client had a lower ceiling.
First Permanent GM for a New Michigan Aquarium and Reptile Zoo
He accepted the offer within days and sent back the signed contract on June 3. Background checks went smoothly, and the start date of June 22 was confirmed. Keller Executive Search completed the search within 10 weeks. The final salary was $80,000; market benchmarking carried out before approaching candidates had supported the adjustment from the initial $64,000 estimate.
Confidential Dual Search Fills Two Senior Roles
The two positions were filled through the same engagement: the Regional Sales Manager and the Strategic Growth Marketing Specialist. The marketing hire signed her offer letter and was set to start mid-December, and the sales hire was scheduled to start in January. Both hires were confirmed before January, and the searches that led to them had never been on the open market.
First Head of Sales Placed at a Facilities Software Company Ahead of Its Seed Round
The candidate who was selected accepted an offer that includes base pay, equity, and repeat sales objectives. He became part of the remote team, reported to the chief executive, and oversaw the small sales team. The change handed daily sales ownership to a leader with broad experience in software and public markets. Keller Executive Search assisted the client through several significant changes to the brief and completed the search. The company hired a head of sales who was able to map out clear steps around live business and public accounts. The hire also gave investors a better idea of who was in charge of sales.
A New Sales Executive to Get the Commercial Engine Moving
The selected professional had experience in fleet technology and automotive sales, two of the main requirements of the role. The hire began through a fixed consulting agreement, with a plan to transition to a permanent position with full benefits. This structure met the firm’s changing needs and allowed the commercial rebuild to continue. The accepted offer gave the revenue leader a salesperson who could build accounts from scratch. Keller Executive Search had the first person on the rebuilt sales team after a previous difficult search.
First Group GM for an Australian Family-Owned Waste Services Group
The selected leader had senior trade and operational experience in large, complex industrial organizations. After a fair discussion, which balanced the market with the group’s own structure, pay was agreed upon. Final starting plans and handovers were established after all set checks were completed. The new Group General Manager arrived with a clear brief to align results and support sustainable business growth. Keller Executive Search sourced a leader who meets the needs of the group today, as well as future succession needs.
