Board & succession
A controlled diagnostic and planning path for leadership continuity, emergency authority, board readiness, and transition risk.
Cadenza Executive Search & Advisory
A developing professional-services practice for orchestras, opera companies, conservatories, festivals, presenters, and other arts institutions facing succession, leadership risk, or executive transition.
Do not send confidential candidate, committee, relationship, or engagement records through Cadenza's public contact form. A conversation does not create an engagement.
Designed for
The work
The work is separated into clear services so a board can start with the actual institutional need rather than being pushed into a search.
A controlled diagnostic and planning path for leadership continuity, emergency authority, board readiness, and transition risk.
A governed retained-search model in formation, with consent, evidence, conflicts, off-limits, and committee integrity designed into delivery.
A future scoped proposition for urgent continuity where mandate, authority, duration, handover, and accountability must be explicit.
Public-source institutional signals and market evidence with deterministic filtering, cited sources, and mandatory human verification.
Process
Each stage has a named owner, evidence boundary, approval point, and stopping condition. A polished screen is never a substitute for an approved operating control.
Clarify the decision, sponsor, purpose, scope, and evidence need before proposing a product or a search.
Use the public application only for public Level 0/1 material; confidential work waits for an approved MFA-protected private boundary.
Cited facts, professional judgement, limitations, approvals, and publication decisions remain distinguishable and reviewable.
Leadership OS modules are selected from observed risk and repeated burden in governed engagements, not imagined in advance.
These are implemented as product and operating constraints, not aspirational language.
