Case study: Chief Executive recruitment | Leeds Community Foundation
Peridot Partners were thrilled to work on finding the new Chief Executive to take over Leeds Community Foundation. Read about our work here.
Outcome.
Peridot Partners began the recruitment process in May 2023. Over a six-week search period, Peridot reached out to over 100 senior leaders in the Leeds Bradford area, using our networks and LCF’s networks. We also ran a concurrent marketing campaign across LinkedIn, X (formerly known as Twitter) and other advertising outlets to reach those who would not otherwise have seen the vacancy.
After a competitive interview process, the successful candidate, Steph Taylor, was appointed to take the helm as CEO in January 2024.
Beginning her career as a youth worker in Yorkshire, she is now an expert in philanthropic giving, having worked in partnership with numerous charities over their career. She brings experience in raising and distributing over £20 million annually at an international foundation while leading its strategic advisory function for government, companies, and major donors.
For the past three years, Steph has been the Deputy CEO of Leeds Community Foundation and Director of GiveBradford.
