Chief Operating Officer (COO), Faith-based nonprofit, Baton Rouge

  • Community Nonprofit
  • Baton Rouge, LA

We’re thrilled to announce a new a Chief Operating Officer (COO) for one of the largest and most successful faith-based non profit in the greater Baton Rouge area. St. Vincent de Paul is a highly respected international Christian institution that serves at risk community members who need assistance with basic needs ranging from nutritious food and housing to clothing and employment. Services include homeless shelters, thrift stores which fund many services and a pharmacy.

This was a newly created position reporting to the CEO. The CEO and  the Board created this new COO position because the organization’s external obligations had increased to the point that the CEO was unable to give the internal organization the attention and leadership it deserves. Accordingly, we partnered with this client and successfully recruited an operations leader with strong operational efficiency experience coupled with a heart for serving Christ in the “distressing disguise of the poor”.
