Case Study: Meeting Professionals International fills two COO roles with Pearson Partners International

Meeting Professionals International - Customer Case Study

Meeting Professionals International (MPI), the largest global meeting and event industry association with 18,500 members across 22 countries, needed to fill two uniquely qualified chief operating officer roles within a three-year period. MPI turned to Pearson Partners International for executive search support because the positions required a rare mix of association, operational, and travel-industry experience.

Pearson Partners International conducted in-depth interviews with MPI leaders, carefully screened and evaluated candidates, and presented only the strongest finalists with detailed references and background checks. Both COO searches were completed within three months, and MPI hired leaders who aligned well with its global membership culture and core values. MPI credited Pearson Partners International’s professionalism, responsiveness, and thoroughness, and said the firm helped ensure a strong fit for both the organization and the selected executives.
