Challenge:
A well-established local nonprofit had a critical leadership gap and needed an executive director who understood their service area and would create long-term sustainability of the organization.
Faced with recent upheaval, the team needed an emotionally intelligent leader to boost morale and strengthen internal relationships. The next leader had to be someone who could rebuild trust while running the organization.
Solution:
Mulberry partnered closely with HR leadership and the board of directors, serving as a trusted advisor and leveraging our executive search strategies to identify and engage with mission-aligned candidates with the leadership experience needed to move the organization forward.
Ultimately, through sourcing, we engaged with a passive candidate who was hired. Mulberry maintained a high-touch partnership and guided the nonprofit recruitment in Portland from discovery through final selection.

Mulberry Talent Partners filled the Executive Director role in 13 weeks with a leader who brought both service-area knowledge and the interpersonal skills needed after a difficult time for the team.
