Jon Harvey Associates has recently completed several senior level searches for a major consulting company. The company has been the focus of a significant reorganization over the last year. Following the boom years leading up to Y2K, the company had begun to lose significant market share complicated by the effect of the "Tech Wreck". Now refocused under new leadership, the company engaged Jon Harvey Associates to help meet the needs of a number of human capital requirements within their organization.
Jon Harvey Associates was given the charter to locate a marquee executive to drive the company's expansion in the automotive sector in North America. Due to the significant relationships of our client's parent company in the automotive space, the company was presented with a tremendous opportunity to capture substantial business. What they were missing was the type of executive leadership that would bring the credibility the company needed to close the deal. Jon Harvey Associates was able to attract one of IBM Global Services' top automotive executives to the company to run their automotive practice. This has sent a clear message to the company's current and future clients that the company is very serious about competing in this segment.
