WHEN YOU CAN’T AFFORD TO GET IT WRONG

You can count on M&A Executive Search. M&A Executive Search and Consulting is considered the preeminent retained executive search firm for several top industries. M&A helps companies best leverage the knowledge and expertise of experienced professionals to advance their business in a highly flexible manner that fits every client’s situation.

WHAT WE DO & WHO WE SERVE

Our award-winning services provide nationally diverse industries with search solutions specific to helping companies find and retain strong executive candidates with customized Executive Search Services, Consulting, Executive Roundtables, and Industry-Related Workshops. M&A Executive Search also speaks at industry-related events both locally around the Twin Cities and nationally. Our unique Profitable Search Process goes beyond the surface qualifications of candidates; taking into consideration leadership style, culture fit, goal matching, and other ‘intangible’ factors. As a result, our firm’s success rate is 95%, which is 28% higher than the industry average! Our ability to find the right match for each position and organization comes from our emphasis on culture. We offer a comprehensive culture survey to ensure the candidates we find are not only qualified for the role, but also that their cultural profile fits what is needed for the client situation.

Privately Owned

At M&A Executive Search we know that for privately owned companies, alignment on values is key, as is resourcefulness and the ability to wear multiple hats. As a privately held firm we know how important it is to find a leader who shares your values and echoes your voice and vision.

Private Equity

M&A understands that the needs of a private equity company can be different and our executive search reflects that. You need leaders who not only represent the wants and needs of your acquired company’s staff, but also understand their role in creating and maintaining EBITDA. Accountability to both company and board can be a challenging position. M&A will find you the right executive that has the ability to perform and thrive in that environment.

Early Stage

M&A provides the most cost effective, flexible, and timely approach for getting access to the knowledge and expertise that organizations need to be successful. We provide “omni-access” to experienced professionals and support clients in a customized way that fits their expertise needs.

Testimonials

“We hired Greg Albrecht and his firm to lead the search for two senior level management positions in our company and he did a great job in helping us to land two very qualified individuals. Greg is a man of great integrity and did an excellent job in driving this search process. I give Greg high marks for the work that he and his firm did for Minco!”

Dave Ring, CEO at Asset Marketing Services (Former President of Minco Products, Inc.)

“We selected M&A for a critical hire, a Mergers & Acquisitions Executive. We needed a firm who could not only find qualified candidates, but could also recommend candidates to fit into our culture. M&A spent time developing an understanding of our culture and conducted a national search. When it came time to interview candidates we were impressed with several “A” players we could hire. I would highly recommend M&A.”

Bill Hoagland, CEO, Engage Technologies

“We used M&A Executive Search to do a search for the President of our bank and they did an excellent job. The candidate recruited and hired by M&A on our behalf is doing an excellent job in growing our bank and improving our customer relationships, engaging our employees, and serving our community. We highly recommend M&A Executive Search for your critical hiring needs.”

Roy Terwilliger, Chairman Flagship Bank

“Greg Albrecht is one of the most business oriented recruiters I have worked with. He really takes the time to understand your business and learn the industry before he makes recommendations. I highly recommend him as a business partner.”

Randy Ahlm, CEO, NPI Medical and former CEO, Spectrum Plastics Group
