The convergence of industry and technology has created some pretty interesting job openings and skill combinations…

Leadership Group Executive Search (LGES), a leader in retained executive search for high-momentum markets, established its Clean Technology practice specifically to assist management in energy, water, transportation, manufacturing, construction, agriculture or land use to identify and attract the unique skill sets needed to meet explosive growth objectives.

What could be more important than improving our utilization of critical resources, significantly reducing or eliminating environmental impacts, and improving the quality of life? Clean technology promises that, and more, but both venture capitalists and management alike are sorely pressed to find truly convergent executive candidates, whose education and work experience bridge often wildly different worlds.
