We are pleased to showcase placements that exemplify our passion for search.
The candidate asked for the low end of the salary range and the offer was in that range. It is confirmed that the new CEO will be starting in August and will pop in to see how the business is running while finishing off their current job. Background and social media screening was conducted and cleared before the appointment was confirmed. The CEO reports directly to the Board and will have reporting lines from operations leaders across several subsidiaries. The appointment was made through the exclusive engagement with Keller Executive Search.
The appointment comes after a process including several candidates and two rounds of senior level interviews. The offer was made and accepted in a relatively short period of time after the final interview. Background checks were clean and first-day check-ins confirmed the new Sales Manager was on board. He joined a 10-person Houston team with an established oil and gas customer base and a mandate to grow it. The appointment was made at a 24% fee under the exclusive engagement with Keller Executive Search.
She signed the offer and was confirmed for May 19. Her first week was at a groundwater remediation course in Las Vegas, something that happens only once a year. The client set it up specifically to give her the right grounding before she took on live projects. She arrived at the firm’s Montrose office for the first time on June 2. The appointment was made under exclusive engagement with Keller Executive Search.
The first position to be filled was the Executive Assistant, who started as a contractor in April. Following the first interview, the Chairman’s feedback was straightforward: he was impressed and wanted to move to an offer. That placement led directly to the Operations Manager role which the Chairman opened up shortly afterwards. The incoming Operations Manager has hands-on experience managing lobbying and government relations teams at both state and federal levels. Both appointments were made under exclusive engagement of Keller Executive Search.
Both posts were filled. The Belgian Sales Manager joined on 18 August, bringing existing customer relationships and transformer sector knowledge to a territory which had not been covered by a dedicated Sales Manager since the previous incumbent’s retirement. After the onsite evaluation and action plan stage, the French Sales Manager was confirmed, the offer was signed, and the background checks are in progress. Both appointments were completed under sole engagement with Keller Executive Search.
All three positions were filled within a seven month recruitment process. The Director of Global Talent was appointed at a base of $165,000 on 22 May 2025. The timeline was pushed out as the first confirmed appointment pulled out and a restart was needed. The Director of NA Human Resources commenced on 22 September 2025. The appointment of the Global Compensation Systems and Analytics Manager completed the full brief, with all three searches completed under Keller Executive Search’s exclusive engagement. The effort involved three active senior searches, all at the same time, two of which required designing the role rather than replicating a predecessor, and one of which required a complete restart after a signed offer fell through. The three roles were confirmed in one engagement period.
