Executive Search in Atlanta, GA: SnapDragon Associates Places Chief Financial Officer for National Construction Supply Leader
SnapDragon Associates, a nationally recognized executive search firm specializing in the building materials industry, is proud to announce the successful placement of a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) for a fast-growing, privately held construction supply and equipment company based in the Southeast. This confidential placement marks another chapter in a long-standing partnership between SnapDragon and a client deeply rooted in the industry.
A Trusted Relationship Leads to a Strategic CFO Hire
The CFO search was initiated following an internal evaluation within the finance department. The President, a long-time partner of SnapDragon, turned to our team once again. This time, to discreetly and strategically identify a new financial leader who could bring operational discipline, cultural alignment, and forward-looking strategy to the organization.
“I’ve worked with SnapDragon Associates for over a decade on both sides of the table … as a candidate and a client,” the President shared. “And here’s what sets them apart: they listen first, act second, and most importantly – they care. They don’t just simply push resumes, but rather they take the time to understand the business, the role, and the people involved—before making introductions. That sounds simple, but in this industry, it’s not as common as you think.”
Precision Search, Personalized Process
With a deep understanding of the company’s values and leadership style, SnapDragon deployed a targeted search strategy. Within the first week, several qualified candidates were presented. One immediately stood out. His ability to balance strategic finance with hands-on operational leadership, along with his alignment with the company’s team-oriented culture, made him the clear choice.
The interview process progressed quickly and with clear purpose. Backed by strong mutual trust, SnapDragon led the negotiation process with transparency and efficiency, aligning both sides on expectations. Just over 30 days after launching the search, an offer was finalized and accepted, paving the way for the new CFO to officially step into the role.
Building Teams with Purpose and Trust
This placement is more than just a successful executive search; it reflects the kind of enduring partnerships SnapDragon Associates is built on. “They’ve helped me build leadership teams, scale businesses, and even navigate transitions in my own career – and I trust them blindly,” the President added. “Other than being Boston Sports Fanatics … I can’t think of anyone else who I’d want to work with.”
