Welcome to
Latitude Cleantech Search
Inspired by both climate anxiety and optimism due to our emerging clean technologies, our purpose at Latitude Cleantech Search is to help cleantech organizations find, attract and hire outstanding leaders.
The world urgently needs our cleantech companies to deploy their transformative technologies at scale in order to have a meaningful impact on our planet. In our experience, this happy outcome requires pioneering and specific problem-solving technology, patient capital, engaged teams, and enabling leadership at the board, C-suite and VP levels – which is where we can help.
Beyond role-specific competencies, we find that purpose, clarity and empathy are the hallmarks of leaders that matter. We hope they also define how we operate at Latitude Cleantech Search.
We are a purpose-driven firm providing a world-class, highly customized executive search service to organizations whose technology or services advance our onward climb to a clean economy.
Interested to talk? If you’re a cleantech organization considering a leadership hire, or a senior level professional/leader curious about cleantech opportunities, please contact Elaine Grotefeld for a confidential conversation.
