▼ Summary • Board member search • Succession planning • Transition management • Diversity in backgrounds, industry CenterStone Executive Search, Inc. provides board services to guide public and private boards of directors in meeting their search and succession-planning objectives.

Our firm is known for attracting board members who are catalysts capable of increasing shareholder value, and for guiding boards of directors in managing the sensitive issues associated with change.

Our work starts with a critical assessment of board composition with an eye toward diversity in backgrounds and industry. Our candidate-assessment process is geared toward ensuring that candidates possess a deep understanding of corporate governance and have the critical skills associated with a director’s ability to navigate the complex demands of the changing business environment while enhancing the synergy required to ensure a cohesive and powerful board.

Particularly attuned to transition management, CenterStone Executive Search, Inc. works with Founders, CEOs and boards on the highly sensitive process of leadership change either through change-out or succession planning. We believe that attention to this, combined with guidance with respect to the on-boarding of new directors and CEOs, is paramount.
