We don’t just fill roles — we build long-term partnerships that align the right operational leader with your unique challenges and goals. Whether your organization is driving Continuous Improvement (Kaizen) initiatives for sustained efficiency, implementing Just-In-Time (JIT) production strategies, or adopting Value Stream Mapping to visualize and optimize workflow, having the right leadership is critical.

By placing executives who understand both Operational Excellence and Lean principles, we help organizations achieve lasting efficiency and sustainable growth.
1. Discovery & Alignment
We begin with a thorough consultation to understand your current state, target improvements, organizational culture, and leadership needs. We use this information to craft a custom Position Specification that defines both technical and behavioral success factors.
2. Market Intelligence & Talent Mapping
Leveraging our deep network and market research capabilities, we map out high-performing executives across relevant industries — including those not actively seeking new roles.
3. Rigorous Candidate Vetting
Our multi-stage interview process assesses operational acumen, cultural fit, strategic thinking, and the ability to deliver measurable results using lean and Six Sigma methodologies.
4. Curated Shortlist Presentation
We present a shortlist of 3-5 top-tier candidates, each accompanied by a detailed profile that highlights their achievements, leadership style, and fit with your operational roadmap.
5. Interview Coordination & Offer Management

Q1: What industries do you specialize in for operational excellence roles?
We recruit lean and operations leaders across manufacturing, automotive, food & beverage, aerospace, life sciences, and CPG. Our candidates bring deep expertise in value stream mapping, kaizen, TPM, JIT, Six Sigma, and more—tailored to your industry’s complexity and compliance environment.
Q2: How long does a typical operations leadership search take?
Most lean and operational leadership searches are completed within 6 to 10 weeks, depending on the role, location, and urgency. We also offer interim leadership solutions for companies undergoing transformation or facing urgent needs.
Q3: Do you provide interim operational leaders?
Yes. We place interim COOs, Plant Managers, and CI Consultants to provide immediate value during periods of change, plant expansion, or turnaround. These leaders can stabilize operations while we identify a long-term fit.
Q4: What qualifications do your candidates typically hold?
Our candidates typically hold advanced degrees (MBA, Engineering, Industrial Management) and certifications such as Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, Master Black Belt, or Certified Operations Professional. Many have successfully led multi-site operations, lean transformations, and enterprise-wide cost-reduction programs.
Q5: How do you ensure confidentiality during an executive search?
Confidentiality is built into every step of our process. Whether you’re replacing an existing leader, navigating a sensitive transition, or launching a confidential initiative, we ensure discretion at every stage of the search—from outreach to onboarding.
