“Spencer Rigby understood our strategy, culture and purpose from day one.”
Scaling leadership without losing what made it work.
Werfen are in a state of business evolution, requiring talent that can help the organization reach its future state. They require leaders that will gel into their unique culture and support the business through the transformation of people, systems and processes to scale. It’s integral this is achieved without it feeling like a revolution, requiring the perfect type of leader to straddle successful history with new, scalable ideas.
During this process, they have also been going through an entire people function evolution. Without an established Talent Acquisition function, Spencer Rigby has played a large role in improving talent acquisition strategies to deliver longer lasting results while also managing the workflow of how searches are prioritized and performed.
You will see from the placements, that we have touched every corner of the business to deliver the leaders that will shape the future direction of the business, covering almost every function across seniorities from Sr Manager right through to CEO.
The transformation of people, systems and process has to scale the business without it feeling like a revolution — protecting what already works while building what's next.
That takes leaders who gel into Werfen's unique culture and can straddle a successful history with new, scalable ideas.
Werfen was going through a wider people function evolution too — without an established Talent Acquisition function, Spencer Rigby helped build one, improving strategy for longer-lasting results and managing how searches are prioritised and run.
The placements below show that reach: we've touched every corner of the business, covering almost every function and seniority from Senior Manager through to CEO.
