of interviews in New York, Atlanta and California to understand each executive's capacity strategically.
The OICs (Tony Filson) objective was to attract the proper media technology executives to fit well within the organunique technology culture. Every ideal media technology executive identified was currently under contract, happy avested within their respective media conglomerate. The current CTOs succession plan was essential while recruiting tthe ideals who were talented and well sought after Media IT executives. All exhibited the career progression and sought in the new CTO to maintain continuity and facilitate growth in the clients global technology organization.
The current Chief Technology Officer CTO required extensive assurances that this incoming executive would assuinitial transitional role prescribed before taking over the CTO position at the cadence prescribed. Maturity and sound juduring a brief transition alloted would afford the organization and their vendors and affiliates continuity during the newascension. An extensive round of interviews in New York with the CTO, CEO and other senior level executive of thcompany provided a unanimous consensus that the proper media IT executive to assume the CTOs position haidentified and that he was indeed uniquely qualified and the single most qualified candidate for the position.

With a proven history of efficacy in managing and introducing new media technology from a hard asset and human rperspective he was respected below, on and above line by everyone who came in contact with him personprofessionally. This level of respect by his peers and those who reported into him would also be an asset in attracretaining highly valuable media technologists for the client company in the future.
One of the most challenging aspects of this media technology executive search was negotiating the timing of the exerelease from his current contract due to a media industry merger. At all times, this media IT executive exhibited traits to someone with a fine character, intelligence and honor. It was a pleasure working on this search with the current Cattracting such a fine senior media IT executive to carry forward the firm's reputation as a leader in global media tecand broadcasting entertainment.
