As the President wanted to spend more time on other projects, he needed to create a new position and recruit a General Manager to manage the company's day-to-day operations and strong growth.

The company was looking for an executive with experience in plant management, and who could establish a strategic plan as well as an internal team development plan. The profile they were looking for had to have strong management skills in order to handle both the general management of the company and relations with the company's major accounts. He needed to have a strategic overview of procurement, production operations, sales, finance and process improvement.

The General Manager was supported by a strong and stable management team acting within a Board of Directors. So the new SME executive had to be a team player, a good listener and a visionary.

We quickly found an executive who matched the profile they were looking for.
