Executive and board-level hiring has quietly become one of the highest-risk decisions organizations make. Not because talent is scarce, but because most hiring processes are no longer designed for today’s complexity, speed, and accountability.
In this live executive strategy session, Travis Thomas, CEO & Co-Founder of Thomas & Taylor Search Partners (TTSP), will walk through a repeatable, board-level framework used to reduce executive hiring risk and improve leadership predictability before the hire is made.
Drawing on 70+ years of collective expertise in Executive and Board Placement across Global Defense, Aerospace, Aviation, Space Tech, National Security, and Cybersecurity, this session presents a disciplined, system-based approach to leadership risk and predictability.


Participants will gain clarity on:

  • Where executive hiring most often breaks down
  • Why confidence is frequently mistaken for certainty
  • How bias, misalignment, and integration risk compound long before failure becomes visible

The focus is not on tactics or tools, but on how high-performing organizations assess risk, behavior, and decision-making under pressure to ensure certainty and reduce risk.


This session is designed for:

  • HR & Hiring Executives (CHROs, VP HR, Executive Talent Acquisition Leaders, HR Decision-Makers)
  • CEOs, Boards, and Investors, including PE/VC/FO Fund Managers operating in Global Defense/National Security, Aerospace, Aviation, Cybersecurity, and Space
  • For senior leaders who carry accountability for executive outcomes and want a clearer, more disciplined way to protect value, reduce surprises, and make leadership decisions with greater certainty.
