CASE STUDY: Critical Hiring and Interim Solutions Supports Manufacturer’s Strategic Growth

PE-Owned Manufacturer Banner | HC Finance Search | Fahrenheit Advisors

THE SITUATION

A leading manufacturer of sustainable thermal packaging solutions with aggressive growth plans initially engaged Fahrenheit Advisors to lead an executive search engagement to find a VP of Finance to bolster their finance expertise. As the PE-owned manufacturer scaled, Fahrenheit became their go-to partner not only for finding key hires, but also for providing interim leadership and fractional support across their HR and Finance teams.

THE APPROACH

After successfully completing the first executive search in 2017, Fahrenheit was engaged to perform additional searches for several departments across different levels. As the company continued to expand, they experienced turnover within the HR department at the leadership level and were able to engage Fahrenheit’s Human Capital team for fractional and interim HR support while an executive search was launched for the new CHRO.

During the same timeframe, Fahrenheit’s Finance & Accounting team was providing FP&A support on key reporting, data analysis, and board deck preparation to aid in the execution of critical growth strategies.

THE RESULTS

  • Stabilized several critical business functions during a period where the company experienced higher than normal turnover in key management positions by utilizing multiple Fahrenheit service lines
  • To date, Fahrenheit has completed 17 engagements to meet the manufacturer’s finance, human capital and executive search and recruiting needs
  • Filled a variety of key roles including VP of IT, CHRO, VP of Corporate Development, Recruiter, Senior Accountant, HR Generalist, and Controller

By serving as a key partner to the company’s growth and success, the newly appointed CEO continues to rely on Fahrenheit to find exceptional talent for critical roles and provide the business expertise to support their strategic growth initiatives.
