Toronto – September 10, 2024 – Retained executive search firm Caldwell (TSX: CWL; OTCQX: CWLPF) is pleased to announce the promotion of Cait Houston in the Calgary office to the role of partner.
“One of our core principles at Caldwell is to recognize and reward the people who make a difference for our clients, candidates, and firm,” said Chris Beck, chief executive officer. “Cait is one of those people – one who has demonstrated excellence, commitment, and leadership in her work. She joined Caldwell in 2017, focusing on corporate services and finance roles across the industrial sector, and has built strong relationships across the industry and honed her focus into new areas for Caldwell. We are very proud to have her as part of our partner team and celebrate her achievements.”
Ms. Houston’s clients include public and private companies ranging in size and scale across the infrastructure, agriculture, energy and resources, and technology industries. She works closely with many private equity and venture capital firms with a specific focus on supporting early-stage Climate Technology and Industrial Technology organizations. Her expertise spans corporate services, operational leadership, and Board Director recruitment, with a particular passion for clients with sustainability-centric missions and energy transition mandates. Her strong understanding of these pivotal functional and industry domains has positioned her as a sought-after partner to clients, frequently called upon to bolster the delivery of senior leadership initiatives in collaboration with Caldwell leaders spanning North America.
Prior to joining Caldwell, Ms. Houston recruited senior level professionals and executives across a range of industries at a Canadian boutique search firm. Before launching her career in executive search, she spent several years in a leadership capacity at an organization that provided travel visa services across Canada. Ms. Houston is an active member of her local community through involvement in supporting event committees and fundraising for local not-for-profit organizations.
“Cait has been a tremendous asset to our industrial practice, delivering outstanding results for our clients and candidates across a variety of functional areas,” said Dave Winston, managing partner of Caldwell’s Industrial Practice. “She has proven herself to be a trusted advisor, a collaborative partner and a rising star in the clean/climate technology, agtech, and industrial technology sectors. I am delighted to congratulate her on this well-deserved promotion and look forward to working with her as a fellow partner.”
