IT Strategy and Implementation
Memphis, TN
Our client is a large US private equity firm focused on consumer and leisure, media and communications and industrials sectors. One of their portfolio companies, that manufactured and sold ceiling fans, required a strategic assessment of IT infrastructure and systems, and required a strong consultant to lead the effort.
The ideal candidate has strategic consulting experience, background in technology and IT infrastructure, and a track record of success with private equity portfolio companies. While “IT Strategy” is a generalized term, the client required a consultant with strong knowledge of business strategy and cost analysis. ECA worked with MidOcean to identify key deliverables, potential cost savings, and was able to quicky staff an experienced consultant from Booz / McKinsey. We ultimately placed a highly successful candidate that led a strategic review of IT infrastructure, and the relevant systems across the portfolio company.

“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.”
