Sustainability and Clean Tech Meet the ‘Perfect Storm’
Talent pipelines struggle to keep pace; ON Partners named as top 25 prominent executive search firm serving the Clean Tech & ESG sectors
ON Partners, the experience-driven retained executive search firm, is proud to be named to Hunt Scanlon’s first annual roundup of the top 25 most prominent executive search firms serving the Clean Tech & ESG sectors.
ON Partners’ managing partner, Tim Conti, was recently featured in Hunt Scanlon’s report on the sector’s surging growth in 2021:
Notes Conti, “The burgeoning demand in the sustainability and clean tech sector been driven by several factors. These include policy, change of presidential administrations, and, I believe, an increasing commitment among executives toward positive climate impact,” he said. “All of these elements create a great growth trajectory for the space; market conditions are there now to attract the highest caliber candidates. When you can mesh high caliber leaders with mission-driven companies, great things tend to result.”
“The CEO and CFO-level roles have been ON Partners’ biggest focus for searches across the sector. With the market potential, several companies have chosen to upgrade the CEO, attempting to boost strategic thinking in order to create a differentiated positioning for the company,” said Conti. “And, with financing often serving as the foundation for these companies, the CFO role is now (and has been) critical to a company’s ability to capitalize on market opportunities.”
“Given the demand, talent pipelines are expected to struggle to keep up. But in these moments, companies should also look internally at talent already within its ranks, talent that is often times untapped,” added Conti. “Providing growth opportunities to your highest potential employees can serve as an accelerator for their career development and oftentimes solves for your leadership gap without the disruption and risk of integrating an external leader. A hybrid internal/external talent strategy is called for in a growth market such as this.”
