GreenSight Executive Search Launches
April 19, 2022 – Veteran recruiters Scott Cuellar, Trisha Hutchison, Dan Kepler, and Mike Magurany have launched GreenSight Executive Search. The Chicago-based firm’s specific expertise spans both traditional and emerging segments of industrial and consumer markets. “The color green represents action, growth, and innovation,” said the firm, in regard to its moniker. “Sight is synonymous with vision, insight, and clarity. We help our clients recruit leaders who provide both.” GreenSight’s expertise includes, but is not limited to, the following industries: automotive, transportation; consumer products; food; industrial products; wholesale distribution and retail. GreenSight recruits CEOs and other P&L leaders, board directors, and critical functional leaders in areas such as finance, marketing, sales, manufacturing operations, and supply chain.
The search firm serves a variety of client companies, including family owned/run enterprises, private-equity backed businesses, and small and large public corporations. “We provide our clients with a unique, thorough, and completely partner-driven experience,” said the firm.
GreenSight’s recruiters have helped public corporations, private equity-backed businesses, and private companies recruit key leaders at critical times, said the firm. Some of the roles that its leaders have helped place include a CEO for a private equity firm’s portfolio company, a chief financial officer for a public European consumer durables company, vice president for marketing and digital and product leaders for a branded consumer durables company, and a chief supply chain officer for a large public food company, among other placements.
Deep Knowledge
Clients have direct access to GreenSight’s partners, who have full responsibility for the engagement from start to finish, said the firm. “We don’t pursue search in volume,” said GreenSight. “We carefully identify, engage, and recruit candidates who fit our client’s unique needs and culture — for greater, long-lasting impact.” Industry knowledge is also an integral differentiator. “Our deep knowledge of the consumer and industrial markets provides a network that is unrivaled,” said the firm. “We deliver thorough, quick results.”
