We recently published a detailed case study on a confidential executive search we completed for a West Michigan manufacturing company. The engagement focused on hiring a Vice President of Operations to oversee multiple manufacturing plants and corporate operations. This executive search required deep manufacturing leadership experience, specifically within high-pressure die casting, along with a hands-on leadership style and the ability to drive operational improvement across a multi-plant manufacturing environment. The case study outlines our executive search process, including discovery, targeted sourcing, candidate vetting, and final placement. Sharing this as a real-world example of how VP of Operations roles and senior manufacturing leadership positions are filled in specialized manufacturing industries.
