Operating Officers

Wurster Partners has extensive experience advising organizations on the recruitment of operating leaders in many countries around the globe.

​

We work with senior leadership, and in some cases, corporate boards in helping them through the process of developing requirements for future operational leaders. This comprehensive knowledge of CEOs, COOs, Presidents and leadership 'ready' talent puts us in a position to effectively benchmark internal candidates against the 'best-in-class' external candidate pool.

​

Our work with operating officers spans CEOs, COOs, Presidents and General Managers. We spend a meaningful portion of our time in this area, focusing on enterprises within the markets we serve. When it's time for a change in operational leadership, companies look to us for counsel on transitioning the next generation of operational leadership.

Information Officers

The Information/Technology Officer is a leader, change agent, and valued business partner to executive leadership.

 

Maintaining technology is no longer an acceptable approach to business success. Given this changing landscape, the role of the CIO / CTO has dramatically changed. Although many technology leaders aspire to influence and participate as true business leaders, there are few that have the skills or experience to operate in this new and ever changing global business environment.

​

In response to this crucial need, Wurster Partners has developed a respected global practice group focused around CIOs / CTOs, but also the critical demand for sophisticated Digital and Innovation Officers. We bring deep industry and functional experience that allows us to help our clients identify, assess and attract leadership talent within the IT function. Our record of successful placements is unmatched, and covers the full range of companies from global multinationals to emerging businesses in the markets we serve.
