Case Study: a leading private aviation company appoints a CFO to go public with Pacific International

Appointing a CFO to Take the Private Aviation Company Public

A leading private aviation company engaged Pacific International's executive search services to appoint a Chief Financial Officer. Their challenge was a lack of internal experience with public company operations as they prepared to go public via a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). They needed a seasoned CFO who could navigate the transaction and upgrade their financial systems and team.

Pacific International implemented a targeted search strategy to identify finance leaders with specific IPO and SPAC experience. This process resulted in a diverse shortlist of nearly 250 candidates. They successfully placed a qualified candidate from the biotech sector who possessed the requisite experience and leadership style. Pacific International's candidate successfully led the organization through its transition to becoming a thriving public entity.
