Reed Elsevier is the leading publisher of science and health information. They needed The Executive Search Group (formerly Infonet) to serve as their retained executive search firm.
"Sourcing the right talent is the ultimate competitive differentiator. For well over a decade I have trusted Tim's judgment in finding key contributors and executive talent capable of helping my teams win. He has never wasted my time and has consistently sourced very high quality talent" Bill Godfrey, EVP & CIO Elsevier said. "Highly recommended."
Challenges
Elsevier serves more than 30 million scientists, students and health and information professionals worldwide. The Executive Search Group conducts several discovery steps in every engagement, and in Elsevier's case that meant dozens of needs assessment interviews with people at every level of the organization.
The stakes were high for Elsevier because they needed the C-level hire to establish a global Technology Architecture Office.
Results
We recruited Darren Person, CTO for the digital media group at CBS, to establish the office and drive change across the globe.
"Thank you for your hard work and dedication," said a Vice President at Elsevier. "You were a great sounding board and aided us in sorting through the potential candidates, and as a result we landed a stellar candidate. I'm excited about the role and him filling that role."
From his office in New York City, Mr. Person is already having a significant impact on the thinking of Elsevier E-Product executives, leaders and stakeholders across the 70 different global locations.
