Executive Search: Chief Growth Officer

The right CGO identifies and activates new growth opportunities while maintaining capital discipline. In sponsor-backed environments, the CGO balances experimentation with focus, ensuring growth initiatives support rather than distract from value creation. Roo Partners has assessed and curated a network of CGOs with a track record of leading expansion, adjacency evaluation, and strategic growth initiatives.

When CGO Leadership Matters Most

Our CGO searches are most often engaged during periods of transformation, acceleration, or repositioning. These include new market entry, product expansion, strategic pivots, and growth platform development. In these moments, the CGO partners closely with leadership to prioritize initiatives that align with the investment thesis.
