Gotham is a female-founded luxury cannabis concept space committed to curating and sharing one-of-a-kind products, art, and experiences that reflect New York’s rich history and promote social justice. They partnered with Bolster to hire a Chief Operating Officer who would oversee corporate and retail operations.
Our team brought a list of calibration candidates to the first meeting to build trust and confirm our search would be headed in the right direction. We developed a rapport with the team and did a deep dive to develop a comprehensive understanding of Gotham and its needs.
Gotham was looking for a personable leader who had experience bringing teams together. We narrowed our focus to executives based in New York City since the role would involve collaboration with the in-store employees. Finally, the right candidate would be familiar with the luxury retail space and have the operational expertise to translate the company vision into a tactical plan.
We knew we’d hit the mark when we introduced the Gotham team to our first candidate, an experienced executive whose resume included Hugo Boss and Armani. His intelligence, curiosity, and passion came through in his interactions with the entire team, and his conversations with Gotham’s CEO were particularly energizing for both parties. We’re excited to watch the team continue to grow and impact their community.
“I have worked with countless search companies, and my experience with Bolster has far exceeded my expectations. The team took time to understand our company's needs and make sure that the person we brought on would be the exact fit, and he is.”
