Smart CEOs know that success will hinge on whether or not they have the right IT leaders in place.

Heller Search Associates, an executive search firm that specializes in recruiting Chief Information Officers (CIO), Chief Information Security Officers (CISO), and other C- and VP-level technology executives, welcomes Charley Betzig to the firm as Managing Director. Heller Search has experienced a strong uptick in search activity since June, and has hired Betzig to help service its growing client roster.

Betzig has spent his entire career in executive search. He joins Heller Search from GattiHR, where he most recently served as Practice Leader for the Detroit region. Before Gatti, Betzig co-founded JGA Partners, a boutique search firm. He started his career at DHR International, a top 10 global executive search firm, after earning a BA in Economics from the University of Michigan.

“Most companies have made the pivots necessary to survive in the pandemic economy, and support remote workers,” said Martha Heller, CEO, Heller Search Associates. “Now, they are accelerating their investments in the latest digital tools to help them engage more effectively with customers, automate processes, and leverage data for competitive advantage. Smart CEOs know that success will hinge on whether or not they have the right IT leaders in place,” she added.

“Given the pace of digital transformation that is underway in today’s economy, I couldn’t be more excited about joining the nation’s top IT executive search boutique,” said Charley Betzig. “As leading experts on the CIO role and IT leadership, Heller Search has access to a deeper, higher quality candidate pool, resulting in superior talent for clients,” he added.
