Boulder, CO
Our client is a PE-backed software-as-a-service (SaaS) provider with a focus on compensation, calibration, and performance management tools. They needed a new CEO to move the company forward by designing and executing an operating plan and growth strategy that is efficient and scalable – from standing up a new software development team to evolving a referral-based sales model into a sophisticated commercial organization.
Our client’s board of directors wanted to bring on a CEO who had a mix of Management Consulting and senior leadership experience; with a best-in-class network of current and former Management Consultants, ECA was a natural fit for the company’s needs. We successfully placed an ideal leader who was able to push the organizations growth to the next level.

“ECA’s management consulting-style quality and processes helped us identify and select the best candidate, fast.”
“ECA understood our unique requirements and delivered great candidates with the right skills, personality and attitude. I would highly recommend partnering with them.”
“ECA is different in the way they manage the entire search process. For our team, this meant a detailed upfront understanding of our business, systematic candidate outreach, interviews, analytical assessments, scheduling support, and offer management. This helped us spend time with only the best candidates.”
“We engaged ECA for a subsidiary company CEO search. We chose ECA because of their experience in private equity and their commitment to both a tight timeframe and options by funneling a large volume of candidates from their network. What surprised me most though was how they took the time to truly understand the business and its culture, which is so absolutely critical when it comes to key talent decisions. The search process ended with three superior candidates.”
“ECA has by far the best process. They were transparent upfront that they had never done a VP Engineering search before, but they asked good questions, quickly learned what they needed to, and were great thought partners in the evolution of our thinking on which profiles would be best. We’ll definitely call them for future senior leadership searches and project consultant needs.”
