Zayo sought a VP of Benefits & Compensation to present directly to the founding CEO. The role required delivering
information in a highly customized format, anticipating CEO questions, and defending recommendations under scrutiny.
OCNS Approach
OCNS presented a comprehensive slate of candidates. The successful executive possessed strategic and leadership capabilities the CEO had not originally considered.
Results
The selected executive was promoted three times over a tenure lasting more than nine years, demonstrating long-term impact and organizational value.
“Michael exceeded my expectations throughout the search process. He provided individuals of exceptional caliber, a prompt search timeline and a seamless process. Most importantly, he thoroughly understood why I needed a VP of Compensation & Benefits, and presented candidates with skills that exceeded our expectations.”
