“Today the best and the brightest entrepreneurs are looking at cleantech as the next chapter in their personal and professional lives. We can talk about all the macro themes, but at the end of the day the companies that we invest in really depend upon the underlying people.” - Ira Ehrenpreis General Partner Technology Partners

"Technology alone will not necessarily attract world-class talent to companies, especially entrepreneurial in nature.  Executing a thorough search for that talent is often the right course of action!  Gaia Human Capital Consultants is highly execution focused and effective in all the cleantech markets"

Interview with Dawn Dzurilla, Founder & President of Gaia Human Capital Consultants:

Q. How is World-Class Leadership Talent Defined?

DD. Ask a hundred leaders and you're likely to get at least three hundred answers. Gaia Human Capital Consultants always seeks the talent and competencies that each individual client requires most.  We tend to place greatest value on a person's resourcefulness, visionary passion, creativity, integrity, energy, judgment, intelligence and substantive charisma.

Q. What are most Cleantech investors looking for in a CEO & Management Team?

DD. Most often, proven visionary leaders with a demonstrated capacity for driving commercialization in energy technology companies, assembling a world-class team experienced in moving the firm through various stages of development and into the marketplace. 

Q. Within the Cleantech industry, is there enough Executive Leadership talent to meet its demand for world-class executive talent? 

DD. No. Progressive leaders are found in every industry.  As venture and private investors know all to well, there exists a finite leadership and professional talent pool within the entire cleantech industry. World-class leadership talent must often be recruited from several related and/or other industries. Gaia Human Capital Consultants are prominent executive search consultants in the cleantech industry and attracts the attention of the best and the brightest executives and entrepreneurs throughout the world and from every industry.

Q. How does Gaia Human Capital Consultants source World-Class Leadership Talent?

DD.  First, Gaia is very much one of the true pioneers at the intersection of cleantech and executive search.  We are well-connected in every renewable segment and that helps!  Further, our team invest a lot time to understand our clients' industry, company and culture and work with boards to benchmark required leadership talent versus the marketplace and to establish processes that will ensure a successful transition after the new executive is in place. 

Next, Gaia commits to an exhaustive research effort up front and throughout the entire search assignment, mirroring a client’s search needs.  Our process combines creative executive search concepts with web technology to identify prospects within the cleantech field and in other industries.

Gaia considers ourselves an extension of our clients' leadership team and embrace an opportunity to add value to each organization.  We continually refine our client's message while working through the process of thoroughly vetting and evaluating candidates.
