"We had very demanding standards in our CFO search. In addition to seeking someone with the highest professional capabilities, we wanted a person whose character, integrity and manner would be a good fit with our company culture. Faced with declining business performance, we needed someone who could help drive our business turnaround and serve as a catalyst for positive change.

Our recruiter, Kevin Hanrahan, listened to us, working hard to understand the dynamics of our business. As a result, he presented us with a high quality group of candidates from around the globe, each of whom was "on target". We ultimately pursued Bill Chiasson, who was also being courted by another Fortune 500 company. Kevin's insight into us and exceptional personal knowledge of Bill linked our needs with the ideal candidate.

Bill has exceeded our high expectations and has become an influential and highly effective member of our senior management team."
