Public Sector & 3P

KEES brings its years of experience to public sector and public-private partnerships (3P) based on our two-decades-plus of nonprofit executive search. While we have worked with public agencies and branches of local, state, and regional government, beginning 2020 we made an intentional shift to broaden and adapt KEES service array to include more clients and partners that focused on the same kind and commitment to its work, within a public or public-private partnership structure to local, state, and federal governments, special districts and public services and services organizations.

KEES has been the Successful Bidder on many high-profile executive searches, consistently matching organizations with leaders who possess the skills, experience, and dedication to advancing the mission of public service. Within different jurisdictions and special use agencies, we have partnered on roles such as Executive Director, Interim Executive Director, Chief Financial Officer, various Deputy and Senior Director roles, and leaders specific to the creation of special departments (aka, EDI or DEI).

KEES is proud to have partnered with clients across various regions and states. These placements demonstrate our ability to identify and secure strong leaders for a wide range of roles, ensuring stability and continuity for the organizations we serve.
