The Moran process was thorough, professional and just plain worked well. The search committee was thoroughly briefed on what would happen, was kept up to date and included in important milestones and was very pleased with the quality of candidates that made it to the semi-final round. Bill Moran and Bill Craig were a pleasure to work with and Roundup is thrilled with our new CEO.
