2007 was a busy year for LP&CO

As searches end and our client-organizations hire new executives, we'll post the good news here...once it becomes public knowledge of course.

We have been quite busy over the past year and have amassed quite a bit of good news to share with you. Here's our news from the searches we completed over the Summer of 2007:


National Institute for Healthcare Management (NIHCM)
Washington, DC

The NIHCM Foundation is a non-profit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to improving the effectiveness, efficiency, and quality of America's health care system. The Foundation conducts research, policy analysis and educational activities on a range of health care issues. It fosters dialogue between the private health care industry and government to find workable solutions to health system problems.
NIHCM was seeking a Director for Research and Development. Julie Schoenman came to NIHCM from the National Organization of Research (NORC) at the University Of Chicago where she was a Senior Research Scientist in Health Policy and Evaluation. Concurrently Julie was also the Director, NORC Walsh Center for Rural Health Analysis in Bethesda, MD.


WomenHeart: The National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease
Washington, DC

WomenHeart is a national patient advocacy organization. Founded by 3 women heart patients in 1998, it provides support, information, and advocacy for the 8 million women in the U.S. living with heart disease. WomenHeart’s mission is to improve their quality of life and healthcare, and to advocate on their behalf.
After being launched and run by one of its founding members, WomenHeart sought a new CEO. Lisa Tate had previously spent 13 years as the Vice President, Public Affairs with the National Association of Children’s Hospitals and Related Institutions (NACHRI) in Alexandria, VA. Lisa’s strategic vision and leadership skills will greatly build upon the success that WomenHeart has already achieved.

A big round of congratulations to these executives and well-wishes for your's and the organization's future success! In future blogs, we'll include news from the fall and this winter.

Leonard Pfeiffer & Company blogs!

Hello!

We're glad that you've found our blog. Currently it is an experiment, but we hope to transition it into a full-time gig, bringing you, the reader, updates on what we've been up to, announcements of things we have cooking, and our musings on all things related to executive search.

First a little bit about Leonard Pfeiffer & Company (LP&CO) if you don't already know...

LP&CO is an retained executive search firm based in Washington DC. We operate nationwide on behalf of corporate and not-for-profit clients, "headhunting" C-level executive leaders to run companies and organizations. The organizations we represent have ranged from $1 million in budgets to $10 billion+ in revenues.

We've recruited over 300 executives in the past 40 years (of combined team experience) for various industries including banking/finance, government relations, healthcare, manufacturing, real estate, and technology to name a few. We've also found CEOs for charities such as the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and the Special Olympics.

We could go on of course, but 300 is a lot to list here. For more examples, check out a sample list of our clients.

That's all for now, but we're brainstorming more material to post here. Oh, and if you've found our little spot here in the big blogging universe, please leave us a note.

Thanks!
LP&CO
