Franklin Craft is an executive search partner for asset- and operations-intensive businesses and their investors. Work spans privately held companies, private equity–backed platforms, and large public organizations. We partner with leadership teams who own senior hiring decisions, whether the business stands alone or operates within a larger enterprise. Focus stays on leaders across operations, engineering, finance, supply chain, HR, and commercial functions—roles where outcomes show up in reliability, execution, and growth. Engagements most often sit in industrial and manufacturing environments, but the common thread is operational complexity. Our approach blends disciplined research, operational fluency, and candid, practical advice so clients can hire leaders who stay, perform, and strengthen the business from day one.

Focus areas:
• Executive search — senior leadership roles
• Operations, engineering/technical, supply chain, commercial, finance, HR
• Privately held, private equity–backed, and large public organizations
• Succession and leadership transitions
• Portfolio company leadership upgrades
• Multi-site and systems-heavy operating environments

If you are looking for a boutique search partner that values truth, discipline, and results, please reach out!
