Data leadership is our niche

At Heller, we proudly placed our first Chief Data Officer in 200, well before the role found its way to the executive table. Our initial placements were data integration leaders for visionary CEOs and CIOs who understood that clean data meant growth. From there, we expanded our data practice to meet the massive spike in data leadership needs across virtually every industry. Today, we place Chief AI Officers, Chief Data Officers, and their engineering leaders. With the entire talent market eager to showcase their AI skills, we know that a deep technology foundation is key to an AI leadership profile.

The Heller Search team could not have been more effective.

From the first meeting, they understood our talent needs, promised (and delivered) top candidates in the timeframe specified. I will continue to sing their praises.

As an HR professional, I was very impressed with how Heller Search respected our process and the role of Talent Acquisition.

Search firms can attempt to bypass HR, but the Heller Search team were very much partners to all our key stakeholders.
