Our client is a private equity-backed manufacturer of highly engineered metal components, headquartered in the Seattle, Washington area. The company serves a diverse range of end markets, including aerospace, medical, industrial, agricultural, and commercial sectors, with a strong presence across the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Recognized for its commitment to quality and reliability, the organization is well-established and strategically positioned for continued growth through both organic initiatives and acquisitions.

The company is seeking a hands-on, growth-oriented Chief Executive Officer to lead and develop a high-performing team while shaping and executing a strategy focused on expanding customer wallet share. Additionally, this individual will be responsible for driving growth through new market penetration, broader industry diversification, and an active mergers and acquisitions strategy.

The ideal candidate will bring a strong track record of building and scaling businesses while instilling operational best practices in entrepreneurial or developing environments. Alternatively, candidates may come from larger organizations where they have demonstrated disciplined process leadership and multi-site management experience, and are now seeking the opportunity to transition into a more agile, entrepreneurial setting as a standalone CEO.

Additionally, the ideal candidate may have demonstrated experience leading an organization through a successful sale or liquidity event. The candidate will bring a strong understanding of value creation levers, financial performance optimization, and investor expectations, ensuring the company is well-positioned to achieve a successful outcome while maintaining operational stability throughout the process.

An attractive compensation package is offered, including a competitive base salary, performance-based bonus, and equity participation.
