The Challenge

A 120-year-old, family-owned company sought to modernize its people strategy while preserving a legacy culture centered on loyalty and craftsmanship.

The Nexus Solution

We collaborated directly with the CEO and executive team to design a CHRO profile that balanced innovation with cultural continuity. Our candidate evaluation emphasized HR modernization, leadership influence, and a manufacturing mindset.

The Outcome

Nexus placed Tim Clinkenbeard, a senior HR leader with experience at Lowe’s, Walmart, and Starbucks. Tim immediately began aligning talent strategy with business goals, strengthening HR analytics and launching new workforce initiatives.
