Prepared for you
This is a private recruitment for one executive seat. It is not posted anywhere. You were identified through research, diligence, and referrals. We would like to talk with you about it.
HCWSY · Confidential Executive Search
HCWSY · Enterprise Leadership
You are being recruited. Our research put you on a short list.
This is not a traditional job posting. We are filling one executive seat: the person who builds the systems, runs the processes, and holds every leader in this enterprise accountable. You should hear about it whether or not you are looking. This page exists to earn one call.
01 / The Enterprise
HCWSY is a privately held house of Service First brands built to serve mission critical industries. First responders. Utilities. Municipalities. Infrastructure. Industrial customers. Disaster response.
This is not venture capital. This is not private equity. There is no exit clock. We build businesses. We acquire businesses. We develop leaders. We think in decades.
Today that means five operating companies. Over time it means more, launched and acquired, each serving people who serve others.
This role exists because the enterprise is outgrowing the reach of any one person. Momentum has never been the problem. Order is.
02 / The Structure
You will not run a business. You will build the systems and processes every business runs on, and hold the leaders inside them accountable.
Presidents run the businesses. You run the rhythm that connects them.
03 / The Opportunity
Most senior roles ask you to own one function or one company. This one asks you to own the space between all of them.
That space is where enterprises win or lose. It is where strategy turns into execution, where acquisitions either integrate or drift, where a founder's speed either compounds or fractures.
Sit in that seat well and the impact is not additive. It is multiplicative. Every president gets sharper. Every commitment gets tracked to done. Every good decision gets made sooner.
The closest analogy is not corporate. It is the Chief of Staff to the President of the United States. Not the title. The function.
Run the White House so the President can run the country04 / What Success Looks Like
Every operating company pulls in the same direction without being told twice, and the seams between them stop showing.
Planning is a rhythm the whole enterprise can set a watch by, not a fire drill that consumes the leadership team four times a year.
A newly acquired company feels like part of the enterprise in weeks, not years, because there is a system waiting to receive it.
People walk out knowing what was decided, who owns it, and when it is due. Nothing is left to interpretation.
Trouble is visible while it is small and cheap to fix, because the operating rhythm is built to expose it, not hide it.
The Founder spends the day building the future instead of chasing execution, because execution has an owner.
05 / The Fit
Mindset over resume
Backgrounds that often fit
Said plainly, out of respect
06 / The First Year
Not a task list. What the enterprise looks like once you have been here a year.
You have met every president, sat inside every operating rhythm, and named the real friction honestly. The Founder already relies on your read of the enterprise.
Quarterly planning, leadership cadence, and cross-company visibility share one system. Meetings produce decisions. Decisions produce owners. Progress is visible without anyone asking.
Acquisitions integrate against a playbook that exists. Problems surface early. The Founder spends more time on vision and less on execution, and the whole leadership team is measurably stronger than the day you arrived.

07 / A Note From the Search
I am not a recruiter. I am the Chief Brand Officer here, and I built this page myself because this search matters too much to hand to a job board.
Understand what this is. We are recruiting you. Someone put your name forward, or our research led me to you, and the diligence held up. There is no posting behind this link and there never will be. You may not be looking. The right person for this seat usually is not.
I have spent years inside this company studying how Al Willimon, our Founder, operates. He is a macro thinker. He sees the whole board, moves fast, and creates more opportunity than any one person can execute. He does not need another idea. He needs the person who turns motion into a system and holds every leader accountable to it.
The corporate world does not have a clean title for this seat. The closest thing is the Chief of Staff to the President of the United States. Not the assistant version. The real version. The one who runs the White House so the President can run the country. Here, you run the building so the Founder can run the mission.
If you read this page and something in you said that is my seat, call me, text me, or write me. I will take the first conversation myself.
Every operating company is real, live, and serving customers today. Start with the house they all belong to.
08 / Private Conversation
There is no form here and no resume to upload. You may be happy where you are. The right person usually is. Two steps, and both stay confidential.
General questions, both directions. You size us up as much as we size you up. Thirty minutes.
If the call says fit, you sit down with our Founder and CEO. That conversation decides everything.
