Brettschneider Executive Search Tapped to Lead Inaugural Senior Vice President for Advancement Search at Wilmington University

Wilmington University has partnered with Brettschneider Executive Search to lead its inaugural Senior Vice President for Advancement search. The national search is being led by Joanne DeStefano and Kim Brettschneider, and interested candidates are encouraged to reach out directly at wilmu@brettsearch.com.

Brettschneider Executive Search specializes in senior leadership placements for mission-driven organizations, bringing a highly personalized and relationship-centered approach to every search. Given the nature of this role, the ideal candidate is likely to emerge through trusted networks and peer recommendations, leaders at institutions of this scale, strongly drawn to a meaningful mission, are often identified through reputation rather than traditional channels. Ahead of the formal leadership profile launch, the firm is already engaged in early conversations with exceptional advancement leaders who may be strong fits.

WilmU is within commuting distance of the greater Philadelphia and Baltimore region, making it accessible to a broad pool of advancement talent across the Mid-Atlantic.
