Posted on | December 7, 2010

Within 2 months, Len Anderson found a Country Manager for a semiconductor company entering the Japanese market.

Len Anderson recently completed a search for a Country Manager for a semiconductor company. The client had only one field application engineer and no established office, but the client found it necessary to rapidly deploy a presence in order to take advantage of opportunities in the market. The search came to Len, who immediately began scouting for qualified professionals.

Many people were interested because the client has proprietary technology and significant potential in the semiconductor market. Eventually, it came down to one professional who was perfect for the role. He is an industry leader who knows the technology, the pitfalls and up-sides of the market, and has more than 8 years of experience as a country manager. He was highly confident in his ability to launch the Japan office because he is familiar with the target customers, the sales cycle, and what is needed to achieve revenue targets.

In 2 months start to finish, Len delivered the best man in the market; just the man that the client needed to win market share in Japan. In looking back on this search, Len observed, “In this day and age, everybody is flexible and everything is negotiable.”
