Placing influential, collaborative board directors that fit both your organization and your mission is equal parts art and strategy – something our team has balanced successfully for decades. Our firm has a successful track record of recruiting board members specifically to private, family-owned, and start-up organizations.
We execute a proven process that includes applying our industry knowledge, proprietary data, search expertise, and executive experience to deliver a qualified slate of board director candidates.
Finding the right leader for your organization requires knowledge, networks, discipline, tenacity – and time. That’s why we’re here – putting decades of experience to work so you can focus on business, while we focus on finding your next executive.
Coaching empowers executives to reach their full potential faster, benefiting your organization. We partner certified coaches with executives and use a strengths-based approach to guide leaders through a process that maximizes their potential to drive success.
Kincannon & Reed incorporates validated interview techniques and evaluation tools to accurately assess candidates. We have the capability to measure personality traits, motivations and evaluate specific competencies and behaviors. The right assessments provide a balanced approach to understanding potential as much as experience.
One board seat can shift the trajectory of a company — or quietly hold it back for a decade. That’s why we don’t start with a list of names. We start by pinning down exactly what your board needs to face what’s coming, then go find it. Our network runs deep across food and agriculture, which means we reach the directors who are already making an impact elsewhere and would never answer a cold call. And we don’t stop at impressive résumés: we press on the things that decide whether a director earns their seat — real expertise, the nerve to challenge the room, and the judgment to make the whole board better. Get this right, and everything downstream gets easier.
