Acertitude Promotes Two Functional Leaders to Vice President
Acertitude, the global executive search firm committed to unleashing human potential, announced two vice president promotions today, elevating functional leaders Suzanne Hebert to Vice President, Digital Transformation & Process Excellence, and Linnéa Jungnelius to Vice President, Marketing & Strategy.
These strategic appointments will enable Acertitude to continue to scale and push the boundaries of what it means to be a truly client-centered executive search and leadership consulting firm — one crafted to build dynamic partnerships while delivering brilliant leaders that power companies through growth and transformation. These moves will also help the firm bring a more expansive, refined, and modern set of service offerings to a growing client base of CEOs, private equity executives, board members, and senior leaders across the Americas, Europe, and the Asia Pacific.
Kevin O’Neill, Acertitude’s co-founder and managing partner said,
“When we launched Acertitude, our vision was to create the finest search firm in the world; to help companies realize their ambitions by unlocking their human potential. Suzanne and Linnéa’s impact on the business has been widespread and helped us transform this bold idea into an award-winning brand and agile business model that’s making a meaningful difference for clients around the world. As we enter the next stage of our accelerated growth plan, advancing our purpose-driven brand while leveraging next-generation technology and insights capability is becoming increasingly important, and their contributions will continue to positively impact the business in these areas and in ways we have yet to imagine."
