On an ambitious growth and digital transformation journey, GMCU were seeking a new CEO. The Board tasked Think Talent Executive with securing an experienced banking executive with dynamic people leadership capabilities and shared commitment to GMCU's mission to 'unleash what's possible within our communities'.

Think Talent Executive also provided support to manage the offer and mobility process.

The Outcome:

"Ainsley, thank you for all you have done! I am so excited about working with GMCU as their CEO. It felt right from the start. You truly are an advocate for the candidates you represent! You are one in a million!"
