ILFI retains Koya Partners
JANUARY 5, 2021 – NEW YORK – The International Living Future Institute (ILFI) is pleased to announce that its CEO search committee selected Koya Partners, a leading executive search and strategic advising firm dedicated to connecting exceptionally talented people to mission-driven clients. Koya Managing Director, Kara Teising, will lead the search process and candidate recruitment effort on behalf of ILFI.
2020 marked a year of reflection, assessment, and adjustment for the Institute, leading the organization to a position of hope, optimism, and financial strength to launch the search for the next CEO. The ILFI Board of Directors created a CEO Search Committee dedicated to finding the Institute’s next leader, whose members include: Ibrahim Abdul-Matin, Paolo Bevilacqua, Tom Bland, Beth Heider, Jason McLennan, Margaret Montgomery, and K C Gauldine.
“Given the importance and global reach of the organization and the expanding ecosystem of programs that ILFI is engaged in order to advance its mission to create a Living Future, we feel it is important for the Search Committee to consider a pool of candidates that reflects the communities which we serve,” Committee Chair Anthony Guerrero said.
To date, the ILFI CEO Search Committee, in partnership with Koya, has prioritized early effective methods for broad and inclusive consultation and stakeholder engagement with the Living Future Community. This input will inform the Candidate Profile that the ILFI Board hopes to announce in early February, with the completion of the search and announcement of the next ILFI CEO before the summer of 2021.
