Kicking off an executive search can seem overwhelming, but it doesn’t need to be. We’ve compiled a list of questions to help you stay organized as you think through the role, the hiring process, and the big picture it all fits into: ❓ Why are you starting this executive search? If this is a previously existing role, why is it open now? If the role didn’t exist before, why is it being created? Considering this will give you a foundation to work from and help unify the hiring team moving forward. ❓ What does success in this role look like? Paint a picture of the best possible outcome, and imagine whoever you hire is wildly successful after the first 6 months. What have they been able to achieve? ❓ What are the existing team dynamics? Taking stock of the existing team, processes, and company culture will help you envision how candidates will fit in and add to the organization. You’ll likely get questions about this during the interview process, so reflecting now is a good way to prepare. ❓ Who are the primary stakeholders for this role? An executive hiring team usually includes members of the leadership team and a representative from the board, but we recommend including a variety of stakeholders so you can tap into a range of perspectives. ❓ How will this person fit into the existing team? We like to use the mindset of looking for a “culture add” rather than a “culture fit.” #BolsterTalent #ExecutiveSearch #ExecutiveTalent #TalentSourcing

We were so happy to help You:Flourish find the right CEO. Congratulations to Seán Patrick Harrington, Steven Haden, MSW, and the You:Flourish team! You:Flourish offers a supportive and inclusive platform providing vital access to reliable, affirming resources to support LGBTQ mental health and wellbeing. #BolsterTalent #CEO #ExecutiveSourcing #CEOSearch
You:Flourish Sets the Stage for Growth with Announcement of New CEO Ready to Expand, LGBTQ Wellness Company Names Sean Patrick Harrington as CEO. DENVER, July 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- You:Flourish a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC) and digital wellness company announces the appointment of Sean Patrick Harrington (he/him) as co-founder and Chief Executive Officer. Harrington joins You:Flourish to lead their national launch and acceleration of the company’s proprietary technology. You:Flourish is the first tech product developed by LGBTQ founders for LGBTQ providers and subscribers. Research demonstrates, “99% of LGBTQ respondents said they would use a vetted resource directory to find a mental health provider,” stated Steven Haden (he/him), company founder and Chief Strategy Officer. You:Flourish prioritizes our LGBTQ populations as the global mental health and human wellness crisis accelerates. Harrington’s experience with large-scale strategic initiatives is crucial as the company continues their significant investments in computing, machine learning, generative AI adoption, and privacy. “We appointed Sean because of his vision, executive leadership, and instinct for indelible and meaningful partnerships,” said Haden. “I would like to congratulate Sean as he appreciates the urgency to build our organization, consider our next priced round, further our company IP, and rapidly expand You:Flourish to all corners of the United States.” Harrington’s appointment will, in part, guide the company as it applies insights from its MVP launch in Colorado earlier this year. He steps into his new role with a history of market insight, innovation, and talent for bridging the gap between the business and health sectors. Having served as founder, CEO, CBO, and managing partner at three thriving startup companies, Harrington brings a multifaceted set of skills to You:Flourish that includes marketing strategy, market analysis, mergers and acquisitions, and capital raise. “I am grateful to Steven and the You:Flourish board of directors for entrusting me with the responsibility to lead our You:Flourish enterprise through the next phase of growth,” Harrington said. “As a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC) our mission is to save LGBTQ lives and drive strong business growth. Our R&D and tech stack rollout ensures inclusivity and empowers individuals to prioritize their mental health and wellness to flourish in their daily lives.” Access to reliable, affirming resources to support LGBTQ mental health and wellbeing is vital. More than half of LGBTQ adults live with a mental health or substance use disorder. LGBTQ individuals are also three times more likely to have anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts, according to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, SAMHSA. For more information about You:Flourish and how the platform helps members of the LGBTQ community thrive, visit www.you-flourish.com. Media Contact: [email protected]
