Testimonials

Getting to the Next Level

Thank you Lumenis Partners for helping the board of directors of Mesa Developmental Services (MDS) find a CEO who so perfectly matched our needs. Our organization had the same CEO for 25 years. She built a strong organization, but when she retired we knew we needed someone who could modernize our accounting system, deal with continuing cutbacks in government funding, and develop new revenue streams. The CEO Lumenis found MDS has done all of those tasks, and in addition, he has increased our visibility in the community. He enjoys the challenges the job provides him, his staff appreciates his management style, and the board has full faith in his ability to get us to the next level. Thanks again for helping us get the right person on board.

Terry Pickens
President, MDS Board of Directors

Gaining Assets

The executive Lumenis Partners found us has done a fantastic job in growing our consumer sales and marketing business. She is a real pro on the PR front, guiding our D.C. PR firm and expertly handling a lot of recent media inquiries. Overall she’s filled a tremendous void and has fit in perfectly with my management team. She has become a great, great asset.

Thorough and Relentless

The best decision I made during my brief tenure as interim CEO for Catholic Charities, Archdiocese of Denver, was to engage Lumenis Partners to find my permanent replacement. Anna Maria and Les Larsen interviewed and vetted over a hundred potential candidates and found the best person imaginable. Our new CEO has brought to Catholic Charities every skill and attribute described in the wish list that Lumenis helped us prepare, and much more. The work done for us by Lumenis was thorough, exhaustive, and relentless. They were with us through every step of the process.

Strengthen Your Organization

TIORCO engaged Lumenis Partners in a search for our Chief Operating Officer.  Working with Anna Maria and Les Larsen was a rewarding experience.  They were quite helpful in bringing qualified candidates, interviewing, and guiding us in making a decision.  The end result was an excellent COO, who strengthened our company and organization.  I highly recommend that Anna Maria be part of a company’s management development and strategic planning team.

Trusted Advisor

Our people are the single most important factor in the success of our organization. Finding, attracting and retaining the right team requires time, experience and insight. Lumenis Partners and Anna Maria Larsen have all of that and more. She is a trusted confidant and an experienced advisor. Her network of contacts is a testimony to a lifetime of investment in the lives of others. Working with Anna Maria is not an exercise in delegation; it is the first step on a genuine partnership to help with the strategic growth of your enterprise. She has helped mine tremendously.
