The search strategy we developed was to identify current CTO or SVP Engineering candidates who had a successful track record in developing product roadmaps and had taken to fill production and to market.    The CTO would be managing a team of R&D engineers in Barcelona as well as the manufacturing engineering group in Shenzhen, China.  Within one week’s time, we identified the perfect candidate who was open to relocate, had several patents in mobile devices under his belt, and had name recognition -  important for further VC investments.

CTO Search Completed within 8 Weeks

After two rounds of interviews in Barcelona, Charles Moore worked with the Board of Directors and CEO to develop a comprehensive employment agreement including salary, MBOs, stock options, relocation, severance, and executive benefits.  The offer required only slight modification ion the negotiations and the CTO candidate accepted the offer.

NextGen Global Executive Search has continued to work with the CEO in his new digital media company three years later.

by Kelley Dorsey

“Our challenge was in putting together an international company that would take two years to complete.  Kelley Dorsey was responsible for developing our internal hiring process along with sales goals for our CTO and SVP Sales that would be hired oversees. Kelley took the time to understand our project needs and consistently met all expectations that enabled a smooth $20M startup launch”.

SVP Sales UK and CTO Saudi Arabia Retained Search Client Testimonial NextGen Global Executive SearchThe client was a major investor in Saudi Telecom and Kelley Dorsey was retained to recruit a CTO for the new mobile operator network, which is now known as Jawal.  Both the SVP Sales and CTO searches required urgency.  The candidate would be easy to find as it required someone who had lived and worked in USA or Canada, but also had lived and worked in the Middle East with understanding of the engineering, subscriber markets, culture, and have solid relationships with the principals in the Saudi royal family.

A solid background in developing product roadmap, staffing, P&L, and launching a mobile network was required.  This search was conducted simultaneously with the SVP Sales executive search.
