C-Suite Executive Job Search Strategies by Joy Cohen

Network-First Approach

Premium executive positions emerge through professional connections, not job boards. Maintain active relationships with industry peers and participate in thought leadership opportunities to create natural career advancement paths.

Executive Brand Management

Cultivate a strong digital presence through LinkedIn, speaking engagements, and board memberships. Focus on demonstrating industry influence and leadership philosophy through strategic content and engagement.

Search Firm Partnerships

Build relationships with executive search firms specializing in your industry. Maintain contact with key partners for market intelligence, even when not actively searching.

Due Diligence

Assess: Board dynamics and company culture. Strategic challenges and market position. Financial health and succession planning. Executive team alignment.

Compensation

Review full package: Equity and long-term incentives. Change-in-control provisions. Board opportunities. Benefits and severance terms.

Transition Planning

Execute smooth transitions through careful handover planning, strategic entry preparation, and clear communication with all stakeholders.

Career Resilience

Continuously expand your network, stay current with industry trends, and engage in board service and mentorship opportunities.

Focus on opportunities that align with both your expertise and long-term career objectives.
