The Challenge:
On an ambitious growth and digital transformation journey, GMCU were seeking a new CEO. The Board tasked Think Talent Executive with securing an experienced banking executive with dynamic people leadership capabilities and shared commitment to GMCU's mission to 'unleash what's possible within our communities'. Relocation to the Goulburn Valley was anticipated to narrow the candidate field and demand a comprehensive, engaging search process.

Following extensive market mapping, salary benchmarking and nation-wide digital marketing campaign, Think Talent Executive undertook a robust assessment process of candidates, including Gallup Leadership Strengths Assessment, in-depth competency interview with Founder & CEO, Ainsley Johnstone and case study preparation, before presentation of short-list for Board consideration. Think Talent Executive also provided support to manage the offer and mobility process.
The Outcome:
"Ainsley, thank you for all you have done! I am so excited about working with GMCU as their CEO. It felt right from the start. You truly are an advocate for the candidates you represent! You are one in a million!"
