Executive Search & Recruiting by C-Level Function

The right leadership can power and refine the trajectory of your organization while paving the way to better performance. When your company is ready to hire its next C-level leader, job ads can’t find that kind of talent that’s integral to advancing organizations and thriving in the roles of chief executive officer (CEO), chief operating officer (COO), chief financial officer (CFO), chief technology officer (CTO), chief marketing officer (CMO), and beyond.

We can — and we can do it more efficiently and with better results than practically any other executive search firm.

Executive Officers

Cowen Partners’ senior executive recruiters personally manage the executive search process to find, recruit, and place top leaders — including the highest-ranking executive leaders in organizations — in under six weeks, using due diligence and human connection, instead of software automation.

Financial Officers

Sharp, forward-thinking leaders can bring innovative solutions, powerful strategies, and fresh insights to C-suites and several departments within an organization. That can introduce all-new efficiencies, processes, and opportunities for companies to get ahead, mitigate risk, overcome complex challenges, and gain a sharper competitive edge. Whether you’re looking to backfill an open position or grow your C-suite, the finance executive recruiters at Cowen Partners can zero in on the ideal candidates to fulfill your needs and exceed your expectations.

Marketing, Sales & Strategy Officers

With candidates for your company’s C-level positions, quality trumps quantity. That’s why we curate a candidate list using a 12-step due diligence process and our senior partners’ years of experience. At Cowen Partners, our executive recruiters know that finding people is easy. That’s why we don’t find people — we connect, curate, and place top talent in leadership roles, including the roles of chief marketing officer (CMO), chief product officer (CPO), chief revenue officer (CRO), chief sales officer (CSO), VP of Sales, and more.

Information & Technology Officers

At Cowen Partners, we are confident in placing the right candidates for your C-suite needs, and we go the extra mile to match world-class talent with specific roles, your company culture, and your unique needs and objectives.

And we are keenly aware of what it takes to place highly qualified talent in the right roles with the right organizations, regardless of whether you’re looking for your next legal officer and/or government affairs officer.

Board Directors & Board Chairs

Board leaders determine overall business strategy, critically controlling the course and success of your business. While weak leadership in these key positions can result in inefficient management, poor recruitment, and potentially even business failure, strong board leaders can put organizations on course for extraordinary success. To attract and retain strong board leaders, it can take more than just a basic knowledge of a company’s short- and long-term agendas. It can also require a skilled board executive recruiter, especially when it’s time to backfill open positions, deal with succession planning, or expand board leadership.

That’s where Cowen Partners comes in, offering world-class board recruitment and succession planning services.

Consultants, Partners & Professional Services

Along with the leadership roles above, Cowen Partners also sources elite talent for new and emerging roles, including positions that are unique to specific organizations and industries. Simply reach out to let us know what you need, and our executive recruiters will take it from there.
