Case Study: A “Unicorn” Leader

Strategic, specialized leadership for a mission rooted in research, education, and conservation.

Elling Eide Center – CEO Search

The Elling Eide Center needed a uniquely qualified leader: a respected scholar in premodern Asian Studies, with botanical expertise for its nature preserve, and willing to relocate to Sarasota, FL. Maneva sourced, screened, and secured their “unicorn” hire in under 3 months. The new CEO is now leading the Center into its next phase of global academic growth.

Kristi Brangle

VP of People & Culture

"The process was very, very thorough. You did a great job with the pre-screening process which made the whole interview process so much easier. Your follow up and preparing us for each interview was very helpful."

Jacquie Holmes

President

"It was one of the best experiences that I've had and I have worked with extensive number of search firms. We had an aggressive timeline and you guys nailed it. We ended up finding a candidate that will elevate the organization on an international level."

Ron Hamilton

HR Consultant

"It was a perfect search... and you did it in 45 days! It was incredible. I found your process refreshing, rewarding and you moved quickly. It was a flawless search."

Nancy Hemmenway

HR Consultant

"We are currently re-inventing our team, and you have been an invaluable partner in rebuilding our
leadership. Being a CPA yourself really helped get that next level of candidates for us."

Stacy Martin

Chief Executive Officer

"You put together amazing candidates. We met a lot of larger firms...but the size of your firm quickly became a bonus because we worked with the A-team. We got candidates within weeks and finished the process in two months. We found a candidate we love and are excited for the new CEO to get started."

Sean Vassilaros

Chairman of the Board

"You have our deepest appreciation for conducting a process that was at every step professional, thoughtful, and enjoyable. We are lucky to have the candidate on the team and ever grateful for your role in the process. It was a tremendous pleasure to work with you and I hope we have the opportunity to partner on a search again soon."

Satchel Kaplan- Allen

Chief of Staff

"I am so impressed with the efficiency, professionalism, and expertise that you showed every step of the way. The timeline was incredible, and you were exactly what we needed after a poor experience with a prior firm. Our entire experience has been absolutely stellar."

Kymberly Garrett

Chief People & Diversity Officer

"[Both final candidates] are exceptional, and I believe either of them would do an outstanding job. I have not seen your level of care and expertise in my entire career."

Lynn McNair

President

"I cannot recommend Sneha highly enough. I had worked with a range of search consultants, including much larger firms...I really prefer someone who has a smaller client roster and who can really give me personalized, devoted attention."

Jessica Love

Sr. Managing Director

"You were a fabulous partner...I appreciated the professionalism, the grace with which you conducted the search and partnered with us. The stewarding of the whole process was thorough, meticulous... You made it quite seamless. I was fully and completely supported."

Dana Lanza

Chief Executive Officer

"Our search concluded with the 'unicorn' candidate! He is going to be fantastic. We could never have found him without your firm."
