Heidrick & Struggles Places Top Leadership at Freddie Mac

October 18th, 2009

haldemanNEW YORK and CHICAGO, Oct. 6 /PRNewswire/ — Heidrick & Struggles, the leading executive search and leadership advisory firm, has placed the top two executives of government-sponsored mortgage finance company, Freddie Mac, in the past three months.

Heidrick’s search on behalf of the company for a new Chief Executive Officer culminated in the appointment of Charles E. “Ed” Haldeman, Jr., formerly Chairman of Putnam Investment Management, LLC, in July. Bruce Witherell, formerly Managing Director of Morgan Stanley, was named Chief Operating Officer in September.

“This is a critical time for Freddie Mac — its appointment of exactly the right candidates in these two key leadership roles will have a significant impact on the stabilization and recovery of the U.S. housing market,” says Keith Meyer, Vice Chairman at Heidrick, who led the search. “It is an honor for Heidrick and Struggles to have been a part of such an important process.”

“The appointment of the right CEO and COO is always critically important to the future success of the enterprise, but for Freddie Mac the stakes are of national importance,” Jory Marino, Managing Partner, North America said. “The positions require a broad mix of leadership skills, financial acumen, and vision. Ed Haldeman and Bruce Witherell perfectly embody these attributes.”
