    Finding the right leader is no longer just about experience or credentials—it’s about alignment.

    In today’s rapidly changing environment, one wrong leadership hire can slow momentum, fracture culture, and erode trust across the organization. Traditional search firms focus on resumes, not resonance. They find candidates who can do the job, but not always those who will transform it.
