Witt/Kieffer is the preeminent executive search firm that identifies outstanding leadership solutions for organizations committed to improving the quality of life.

Cultural Leaders Bring Education, Research, Art to Life

Cultural institutions advance education, research and the arts by bringing to life history, science, music, literature and architecture, among many specialized areas. Cultural institutions need philanthropic support, committed volunteers and strong public interest. The best leaders bring the right mix of self-confidence, decisiveness, passion and intellectual curiosity to the vision and mission of the organization. 

Witt/Kieffer’s work on behalf of the not-for-profit community has been well-established over 40 years.  We have been strategic partners with museums, arts foundations, historical societies, public television and radio, orchestras and private libraries in their search for great leaders. Our consultants tailor the process to each organization’s distinctive needs, using in-depth research, targeted, national outreach and a best-in-class knowledge management system. We verify credentials, use on-line checks for relevant information and probe references to identify the leader with the finest cultural fit.
