ROLES

Edgewater Talent’s consultant have deep recruitment experience coupled with an exponentially growing network of Board Directors and CEO’s. Our successes include recruitments for private-equity-backed companies, privately held and publicly traded companies, and nonprofits. A key feature of our Board Director and CEO recruitment methodology includes an Board Culture assessment, as the Board as well as the CEO must mesh for success.

We work with private, private-equity-backed, and small-cap to large-cap public companies to recruit best-in-class Chief Financial Officers. We also recruit key members for the Office of the CFO and for Finance teams, for roles including Controller, Treasurer, Internal Audit, Investor Relations, and Tax.

The Chief Scientific Officer and Chief Medical Officer each lead distinct teams: respectively, R&D responsibilities and clinically approved products for quality patient care. Edgewater Talent’s consensus has shown that there is must be a collaborative relationship between the CSO and CMO, and they must align for an organization to be successful. The four (4) key areas of alignment are: 1) Research Strategy, 2) Joint Data Intepretation, 3) a focus on Regulatory Affairs, and most importantly, 4) Constant Communication. The R&D and Clinical/Medical leadership teams must effectively communicate findings and perspectives to each other and to other stakeholders within the organization, to ensure the business’s continued success.

Edgewater Talent’s take in these highly evolving roles: In its State of the CIO research for 2024, CIO Magazine interviewed 850 IT leaders and 250 lines of business participants and found that CIOs are spending most of their time on aligning IT initiatives with business goals and improving the customer experience. In 2024, Security management and improving IT Operations systems performances came in as 2nd and 3rd role priorities. With tech becoming a core part of every business, especially with the emergence of disruptive tech like AI, now the CTO role will become a more executive role. As a more crucial role to every business, their role will likely include a seat on the executive committee because, moving forward, they will not be as involved in cybersecurity and AI methods to enhance customer experience but in engineering, product development, manufacturing while proactively contributing to and informing the Executive Committee regarding new tech strategy for continued business growth and success. We have recruited: CTO and functions supporting the Office of the CTO CIO and functions supporting the Office of the CIO Chief Data Analytics Officer Chief Digital Officer Head of Product Engineering and Development
