Gans, Gans & Associates Heading Housing Authority CFO Search

February 4, 2016 – Executive search firm Gans, Gans & Associates has been selected by the Housing Authority of New Orleans (HANO) to lead its search for a new chief financial officer. The position reports to the organization’s executive director. Ernest Barefield, an executive recruiter with Gans, Gans & Associates, is heading the search.

The history of public housing in New Orleans is complex, marked by economic and social challenges while providing much-needed housing and a sense of community for the city’s poverty-stricken.

This position requires a financial leader that will be able to establish or recommend to executive management major economic strategies, objectives, and policies for the Authority. The CFO will oversee and direct all aspects of financial operations and provide support to the executive management staff.

The incumbent CFO will manage and lead a team to provide internal and external customer support as well as provide current financial information and accounting tools to all levels of the organization.

The mission of the Housing Authority of New Orleans is to provide affordable housing opportunities for low-income residents of the city of New Orleans, while laying the foundation for economic sustainability.
