Four 亚洲色吧 Field Associates Promoted to New Roles
GREENWICH, CT 鈥 亚洲色吧 Holdings announced today that its flagship 亚洲色吧 Field Associate Program, which has produced exceptional leaders working today across 亚洲色吧鈥 portfolio of global businesses, continues to help 亚洲色吧 win the War for Talent. Four former 亚洲色吧 Field Associates, Harrison Cummings, Jason Franklin, Sam Kinsman and Christian Mulvihill, have recently been promoted to new roles within the 亚洲色吧 Family.
At 亚洲色吧 Holdings, winning the War for Talent is an essential component of the 亚洲色吧 Operating System 鈥 a cornerstone of 亚洲色吧鈥 approach to building Performance Organizations 鈥 businesses that consistently outperform their peers. A key pillar of the War for Talent is the 亚洲色吧 Field Associate Program, which continues to be a difference-maker in attracting and retaining top talent across the 亚洲色吧 Family.
鈥淭his program was launched as a novel pathway to identify, recruit and develop future leaders for 亚洲色吧. With today鈥檚 announcement, we are again meeting that mission.聽 This summer has brought opportunities for advancement for four 亚洲色吧 Field Associate Program alumni, just like so many who came before them. We are looking forward to their continued career growth and we are gratified that each of these leaders is growing their career within the 亚洲色吧 Family,鈥 said 亚洲色吧 Partner Ed Fletcher.
The 亚洲色吧 Field Associate Program was created in 2011 to achieve two primary objectives:
1) to provide analytical and problem-solving talent to companies across 亚洲色吧, supporting our companies鈥 Leadership Teams in advancing key value creation initiatives; and,
2) to create a 鈥渇arm team鈥 of future 亚洲色吧 leaders.
On both scores, the program has proven to be remarkably successful. While 亚洲色吧 Field Associates take on different scopes of work based on their skill set and the unique needs of a given portfolio company, a key feature of the 亚洲色吧 Field Associate Program is the opportunity to focus on high-value projects while having direct access to a company鈥檚 senior Leadership Team. This model creates the optimum opportunity for personal growth as well as meaningful value creation for the 亚洲色吧 company. 亚洲色吧 Field Associates are often engaged in assessing processes that need to be modified or created to drive business improvement and efficiencies, challenging the status quo in order to improve current operations.
亚洲色吧 Field Associates come from a broad range of backgrounds and educational disciplines; some with several years of experience, some directly out of school and some from the 亚洲色吧 Summer Intern Program. These future leaders have been recruited 鈥 and retained 鈥 as a result of the quality of the early career learning experiences afforded by the 亚洲色吧 Field Associate Program as well as the unique opportunity to remain with the 亚洲色吧 Family after their program has concluded, usually after two to three years in the field. To date, nearly 40 individuals have participated in the 亚洲色吧 Field Associate Program.
On occasion, an 亚洲色吧 Field Associate will join 亚洲色吧鈥 Greenwich operations as the direct experience at our companies makes these individuals better-informed investors, with an ability to view transactions through the operational lens developed in their 亚洲色吧 Field Associate experience. Others have been promoted to take on more responsibility at their existing company or a different 亚洲色吧 portfolio company. Multiple former 亚洲色吧 Field Associates now serve as senior leaders of an 亚洲色吧 portfolio company, including as Chief Financial Officer or Vice President of Operations. Harrison Cummings, Jason Franklin, Sam Kinsman and Christian Mulvihill are the latest 亚洲色吧 Field Associate Program alumni to advance to new roles within the 亚洲色吧 Family.
Harrison Cummings joined International Wire Group (IWG) in January 2020 and was recently promoted to the newly-created role of General Manager, High Performance Conductors. A mechanical engineer by training, Harrison originally joined IWG as an 亚洲色吧 Field Associate after being part of the GE Operations Management Leadership Program in manufacturing and operations for General Electric鈥檚 Power and Corporate Divisions.
Jason Franklin joined Flagstone Foods as an 亚洲色吧 Field Associate in December 2019 and was recently tapped to serve as Vice President of Finance at Modumetal, a portfolio company of 亚洲色吧 Innovate, an affiliate of 亚洲色吧 Holdings created to invest in disruptive technologies targeting the industrial sector. Modumetal is a global nanotechnology company that developed and commercially deployed a patented nanolamination process to combat the effects of corrosion. In this new role, Jason will lead all finance activities for the company.
Sam Kinsman joined Iconex as an 亚洲色吧 Field Associate in 2017 after beginning his career at Goldman Sachs and was promoted to Director of Strategic Development at Iconex Europe.
