Case Study

“Relationship building, trust, open communication, curiosity, energy - Holly brought these elements to the search process for myself and Generations, and I have no doubt she brings this level of connection to each client fortunate enough to engage with her through the critical task of an executive search.”

The Aim: The goal was to find a new Executive Director to follow a retiring Executive Director who would fit the culture of the organization, work well with existing staff and be an outstanding steward of the organization’s legacy and mission.

The Outcome: Jessie Peterson was hired in 2023 and is beloved by the staff and board. Not only has Jessie maintained the momentum of the organization, but she has bravely explored new ways to serve both the physical and emotional health needs of the communities the foundation serves.

More From The Client: “Holly is not afraid of asking the hard questions. The process of working with Holly provided the opportunity to articulate what I was seeking in my next professional role. Through active listening and insightful questions, she naturally ensured I was prepared for the interview process. I have no doubt she engaged with the client in a similar manner, ensuring both parties were prepared and engaged throughout the hiring process.

Organizations can thrive with proper leadership alignment. While Generations' engagement with Holly was for a limited time, the value of working with an executive search professional as skilled as Holly will result in long-term positive impact. The investment is worth it.”
