General Manager / COO

The General Manager / COO is the largest search specialty over the 20-plus year history of GSI Executive Search. We are proud of the hundreds of GM placements we have made and the client relationships we have developed which have led to repeat assignments and additional searches for other positions with these same clubs and clients.

We know how important the GM leadership role is to the overall success of your club or hospitality operation.  We approach each of these assignments as a new and different search and strive to clearly understand each client’s unique culture in our process of developing candidates. During our recruitment process for this position, our proactive outreach and thorough review and screening of potential candidates by our entire GSI team leads to qualified and interested candidates who fit your club culture and who have the skills, experience and accomplishments you seek.

Throughout GSI’s more than 20 years in private club and hospitality executive search, our team has established a track record of success based on trust, ethics, responsiveness, and the results we have produced in the placement of GMs / COOs. These results have led to stable and successful placements that easily outlast the industry average. We are also well known for producing these results in a timely and efficient time frame.

In our work in placing GMs in private clubs and hospitality organizations, we are also known for our follow-up work with boards and owners after the placement is made.  We work with our clients during the initial transition, during the first year in the position, and into their additional years of tenure.  These services include board orientations, board consulting, GM / COO evaluations, staff team building, and strategic planning. We are dedicated to long-term success for the GM / COO and you.

We have worked with many of the top clubs and hospitality organizations throughout the U.S. and beyond. Click here to view a partial client list.
