“We initiated our search for a new CEO using our extensive internal resources and Board connections. After a few months, we decided to retain a search firm and asked trusted advisors for referrals.  Bente Hansen was a name that came up repeatedly and after interviewing several of their past clients, they were chosen.   Bente and her team spent a considerable amount of time interviewing our Board members and the Senior Management team to understand exactly what we were looking for.  They put all their resources and energy into the search, learned the nuances of the position, and understood the culture we had established. With their knowledge of the industry, they presented a diverse slate of qualified candidates, provided timely reports and represented our company in a polished and professional manner.  I could always reach Bente or her team members and was very impressed by their timely responsiveness and professionalism. We have all been extremely pleased with the results of the search, which had an extremely successful outcome, and will use Bente and her team again. I have no reservations or qualifications in recommending Bente Hansen.”
