A Refined Approach to Securing
Exceptional Executive Talent

Vision Alignment from
Day One
We don’t just find executives with impressive resumes; we connect you with leaders who can translate your strategic goals into actionable roadmaps. These are vision-driven professionals who see the big picture, set clear direction, and unite teams around a shared mission.
Influence and Buy-In That Drives Change

Direct Industry Experience
That Matters
Manufacturing leadership requires more than theory. We deliver executives who bring hands-on industry experience, whether it’s leading a complex plant operation, scaling a PE-backed portfolio company, or navigating the regulatory demands of medical devices and aerospace. They understand your world because they’ve lived it.

A special shoutout to Nick Wieberg! Nick with SEC was instrumental in how he advocated for me with my new company. He was quick to answer questions from both parties during the informational period. I love the position I ended up in and highly recommend working with SEC.
The level of professionalism and the amount of time dedicated to understanding what the individual is looking for was very impressive and comforting. Responsiveness to my questions as well as communication with the target company was also excellent. You know how Delta asks if you would hire this person/company.. My answer is absolutely 100%.
