Executive recruiting firm needed to place VP of Operations

VP of Operations urgently needed to take charge at bakery portco

A PE firm came to us with a critical need for an executive recruiting firm that could place a VP of Operations in their bakery portfolio company. Since buying a second bakery as an add-on to their original portco, they urgently needed someone that could take the reigns, keep operations running smoothly, and implement minor process changes as the add-on adjusted to being part of the firm’s existing bakery portco. They were looking for a recruiting firm that could connect them with a person that had both operations and bakery experience and was also local to the geographic area.
