ABOUT KAY FRANCOEUR
Executive search professional with experience across PE-backed, public, and privately held companies. As a leader in our Healthcare & Life Sciences practice, I specialize in C-level & VP leadership for PE portfolio companies and can leverage significant experience across strategy, operations, and transformation.Before executive search, I earned a PhD from Indiana University (Fulbright Scholar; Mellon Research Fellow) and worked in academia and the nonprofit sector, focused on women’s health and rights policy in South Asia. This international experience honed my ability to navigate complexity, identify root issues quickly, and deliver thoughtful, high-precision solutions – the same approach I bring to partnering with private equity clients on critical leadership hires.ECA is a leading executive search and consulting firm focused on middle-market private equity and their portfolio companies. We help clients rapidly identify and hire VP- and C-level talent to execute value creation plans, partnering with many of the top 50 private equity firms to build leadership teams that drive growth, performance, and strong exits.
