Nonprofit and public sector executive search firm KEES has been retained to find the next President for Covenant Trust Company following the announcement that Ann Wiesbrock will retire.

Located in Chicago, IL, Covenant Trust serves families and institutions with a full suite of trust capabilities, including investing, planning, trustee services, estate and gift planning, and guidance. KEES President Heather Eddy and Project Coordinator Megan Taylor will guide the search.
This partnership builds upon KEES’ history and relationship with Covenant Trust Company, as well as with the Evangelical Covenant Church.
“We are thrilled to retain KEES, and look forward to partnering with them again in helping us select the next leader of Covenant Trust,” said Scott Hanson, Search Committee Board Chair and Senior Vice President of Finance for Covenant Ministries of Benevolence. “Their history and knowledge of our organization sets KEES apart, and their commitment to a diverse and inclusive search process was paramount as we chose a partner in this search.”
As a premier executive search firm, KEES specializes in executive searches for top executive positions such as Chief Executive Officer, Executive Director, and President roles and has a long history of placing accomplished executives in the Chicago metropolitan area and nationally. KEES’ history of helping organizations transition from President or President-like leaders is a hallmark of its work and accomplishments. For over two decades, the team at KEES has been a leader in offering a proven search process with creative and unique approaches designed to fit each client partner’s needs.
“It is a distinct honor when KEES is asked to fill a role that we previously placed,” said Heather Eddy. “We are thrilled to have been selected to partner with Covenant Trust following the transformational leadership from Ann.
