The General Manager / Chief Operating Officer role has been GSI Executive Search’s primary specialty throughout our 30-year history. We understand that the GM/COO is the cornerstone of success for any member- or guest-focused organization. Our placements have spanned private clubs, community organizations, hotels and restaurants, and we are proud of the hundreds of GM placements we have made and the trusted relationships we have built with candidates and clients alike.
We approach each search as a unique assignment, and our team takes the time to understand the unique culture, goals and operational needs of our clients before identifying candidates. Through proactive outreach, rigorous screening and collaboration across our firm, we consistently deliver qualified professionals who align with your culture and bring the skills and acumen required to thrive.
The executives we place consistently outperform industry averages in both tenure and impact.
Beyond the search itself, we provide follow-up and support for boards, owners and leadership teams during the transition and first years of tenure. These services often include orientation, evaluations, team building and strategic planning to ensure long-term success.
GSI also brings deep expertise in community management searches. We’ve partnered with club communities, condominium associations and some of the largest-scale master-planned communities in the country. Our success is rooted in understanding the unique responsibilities of community managers: providing strategic vision, fostering relationships among residents, staff and boards, and representing the community with pride at every level.
Whether in a club, community, hotel or restaurant, GSI’s General Manager / COO placements share one goal: delivering strong, stable and forward-thinking leadership that secures the long-term success of your organization.
