Dear all,

I have a very interesting proposition for a New York based company which is currently looking for a CEO to take over operations from the founding team which has been operating the company since 2014.

If you are interested or know of anyone who could be interested please let me know and we can have a quick call.

Best,
Alex

Thanks everyone for the overwhelming set of responses. I have replied to all DMs and sent some further info to those that have shared an email .

Two clarifications, and apologies for not making it clear in the original post:
1. While the company has received significant investment (over 7M from investors including the likes of Harvard Business Alumni) and is doing over $600K/month, it is still struggling to be profitable, so to some extent, this is a turnaround scenario (or at least a "work-against-the-clock" scenario).
2. The owners are close to signing up with Michael Page for an executive search, and I offered to share here with the community to evaluate the possibility of bringing in a more entrepreneurial CEO. Any potential candidates I would need to present in the coming days.

I doubt this is an option for somebody currently in a full time executive position, therefore my suggestion that it could work well for a self-funded searcher with no major commitments and whose opportunity cost is much lower and can offer a much more immediate availability.

Thanks again and do not hesitate to follow up if relevant!
