…surpassed our expectations
“Mari completely surpassed our expectations. She brought wonderful skills and was an exceptional Interim CEO, I can think of nothing that could be improved. We are forever grateful for her work.
Christine, Ed, and the team at Valtas were extremely transparent and set reasonable expectations about the timeline for our CEO search process. I was extremely pleased with our partnership. We believe we hired the best CEO anywhere to lead Kindering in the next chapter.”
…a consistent and effective partner
“The metrics set forth in the engagement with the Interim Executive were achieved successfully. The outcome of the executive director search was the appointment of a highly qualified, nonprofit leader who received a thumbs up from both Staff and Board. This is my 3rd engagement with Valtas and you have proven to be a consistent and effective partner.”
…an excellent partnership
“We successfully created a Strategic Plan for the organization for the next three to five years and effectively kept our staff and Board of Directors updated throughout the process. I was very impressed with the support we received from Valtas. I felt it was an excellent partnership.”
…navigated extremely well
“I feel like we had a very unique situation that Sue navigated extremely well. Our staff was truly engaged under her leadership and she was able to work with a large range of personalities and communication styles with all stakeholders including staff, board, vendors, and consumers.”
…revealed opportunities for us to improve
“Laura has learned the workings in IFCB and has begun taking on the tasks I’d expect of an Executive Director such as leading strategic planning with significant involvement from board and staff, improving our financial reporting, making fixes to our budget, and sorting through staffing issues that should help to strengthen teamwork. She asks questions in a non-threatening manner that shows respect but that also reveals opportunities for improvement.”
