Paper Manufacturing Company in Austria places a Managing Director in 45 days with Stanton Chase

A paper manufacturing company in Austria needed to appoint a new Managing Director who could lead its operations and manage relationships with both local stakeholders and new Asian investors. The company engaged the executive search firm Stanton Chase to find a candidate with specific sector knowledge, lean manufacturing experience, and bilingual fluency.

Stanton Chase initially presented candidates based on the stated requirements, but feedback revealed an unstated need for a highly experienced, peer-level leader. The firm then leveraged its senior professional network to identify an ideal, albeit overqualified, candidate. This candidate was placed within 45 days, bringing the necessary credibility and experience to satisfy both the company and its international owners.
