Description
Deffet Group, Inc. is pleased to have been retained by RiverMead to conduct an executive search for a Chief Executive Officer.
RiverMead is a mission-driven, not-for-profit Life Plan Community (LPC) nestled on 96 acres of scenic beauty in Peterborough, in the Monadnock Region of southwestern New Hampshire. Founded in the late 1700s and established with a strong emphasis on independence, dignity, and lifelong community connection, RiverMead opened its original campus (The Mead Campus) in 2001, expanded to create a comprehensive continuum of care that supports aging in place with a second campus (The Village Campus) in 2013, and most recently expanded with additional villas.
RiverMead is seeking a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to lead the community in meeting the needs of the next generation. Reporting to the Board of Trustees, this individual will be a hands-on, articulate leader with a deep passion for senior living and proven ability in developing and implementing strategic plans.
The successful candidate for this position will have a Bachelor’s degree (Master’s highly preferred) and ideally, a minimum of ten years’ senior management experience in senior living. Our finalist is a confident, positive individual who is open to alternative views but purposeful in decision-making. Through consistent two-way communication and a collaborative interaction style, the CEO genuinely enjoys building trust and a strong sense of rapport with residents, team members, the Board and the community at large. They possess the gravitas to build consensus in a resident-centric culture and lead through any crises that arise with empathy and professionalism. Transparency and visibility are hallmarks of our CEO’s leadership approach, as is a true passion for maximizing the resident experience and ensuring that RiverMead continues to be the premier LPC in the region.
This is an outstanding leadership opportunity for an individual who wants to lead a forward-looking community poised to expand and enhance its acclaimed reputation as a premier LPC that enables an exceptional lifestyle in a healthy, safe and vibrant environment.
Candidate nominations or expressions of personal interest may be directed in confidence to Elizabeth Feltner, Chief Executive Officer, Deffet Group, Inc., via email: info@deffetgroup.com.
