The Moran Company Elevates Mike English to Partner and CEO

The Moran Company is proud to announce that Mike English joins Bill Moran as a Partner of the firm and has been named the company’s CEO. Founder Bill Moran will continue his role as President of the company he established more than 30 years ago. Since then, The Moran Company has led more than 300 nonprofit executive searches and remains committed to recruiting top talent for organizations and associations across the nation.

This transition represents a planned evolution designed to ensure long-term continuity and success. Bill Moran will remain fully active with the firm, focusing on continued growth, select client engagements, and mentoring the company’s leadership and team of Senior Search Consultants. Mike English will continue to lead key client leadership searches while partnering with Bill Moran to set the firm’s strategic vision.

According to Bill Moran, "At the heart of our firm is a simple promise: 'Our mission is your mission.' For three decades, we have dedicated ourselves to the nonprofit sector, built on a team of recruiters who have lived the work as executive directors and fundraising leaders. 

“It is with great pride that I welcome Mike English as our new Chief Executive Officer. Having served for years as a nonprofit Executive Director himself, Mike truly embodies the values of service, collaboration, and integrity that define us. I am confident that under his leadership, the culture of devotion to our clients—the legacy I am most proud of—will continue to flourish."

The transition comes during a period of continued growth for the firm. Through the years, The Moran Company has expanded to include hundreds of clients and a full team of recruiters who have previously served as nonprofit executives. By elevating a trusted internal leader, The Moran Company reinforces its commitment to helping nonprofits fulfill their missions by recruiting exceptional talent.

"I am honored to help lead The Moran Company into its next chapter," said Mike English. "Working alongside Bill over the last several years has been a masterclass in executive search. The values Bill has instilled in The Moran Company align with my personal commitment to nonprofit organizations and the people that lead them."

Clients of The Moran Company can rest assured that the culture and priorities molded over the past 30 years will not change. The Moran Company remains committed to the nonprofit sector. With an eye to the future, the firm looks forward to providing high-quality executive search services to many organizations for years to come.
