TAMPA, FLORIDA – Ideal Image, the nation’s leading medspa, has placed Monna Nevils as their new Chief People Officer. Managing Partners, Nat Schiffer and Ayla Maloney led and placed the vital search.
“Leadership transitions can present both challenges and opportunities. Recently, I had the privilege of collaborating with the interim CEO and Private Equity sponsor to place a new Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) in this pivotal role,” shared Nat Schiffer, Managing Partner at TCG,
“Balancing the expectations of an interim CEO—focused on stabilizing and steering the organization—alongside the strategic vision of the PE sponsor was a unique experience. Success hinged on aligning immediate priorities with long-term objectives.
During the search, the interim CEO recruited the permanent CEO, Jason Feldman, who provided essential insights into the current operational landscape. At the same time, the PE sponsor emphasized the importance of a transformative HR leader who could drive value creation, culture alignment, and talent strategy. We sought a candidate with the expertise to navigate complex organizational structures and the vision to align HR with broader business goals,” Nat continued.
“This experience reinforced the importance of strong partnerships and clear communication when placing a senior HR leader during times of transition. It was rewarding to contribute to the growth and stability of the organization by securing a CHRO poised to make a lasting impact.”
As the Chief People Officer, Monna will act as a cornerstone to a newly assembled Executive Leadership Team that is operationally resetting the organization, deploying investments and resources, ultimately enabling the organization to thrive. As the subject matter expert in all things people, talent and culture, she is responsible for guiding strategy around organizational design and effectiveness, talent management and assessment, culture and engagement. Monna will deliver all of this and more.
