MSH Group Places Key Cybersecurity Chief at Carnival Corporation

Global talent acquisition firm sourced visionary IT leader to strengthen Carnival's strategic security planning

MIAMI, FL, USA, September 9, 2014 /EINPresswire.com/ -- MSH Group, a global talent acquisition and management consulting firm, has placed many key executives at the world's most successful companies. In working with large scale enterprises like Carnival Corporation, a global cruise company, MSH Group not only placed top-level talent, they also worked closely with the firm to gain a meaningful understanding of their requirements, and translate that understanding into the right candidate for the new role. When Carnival Corporate saw the need to take a broader role in strategic security planning, they decided to create a position for their very first Global Information Security Officer (CISO). MSH Group personnel worked closely with Carnival to fill that role, and determine precisely what characteristics and background would be necessary for a successful engagement. After an exhaustive search, MSH Group sourced Gary Eppinger to take the helm of Carnival's cybersecurity organization as CISO and Privacy Officer.

Eppinger is a visionary leader in the IT and cybersecurity field, with deep experience in global strategic planning, complex infrastructure, business alignment, enterprise security and business applications for Fortune 100 manufacturing, insurance, retail and medical organizations.

"It was a great pleasure working with MSH Group and being a part of their global search process," said Eppinger. "From our first contact and throughout the entire process, Juan and the MSH team made sure that this would be an absolutely perfect fit. Because of their diligence throughout the search, I was able to join Carnival with great confidence. Because of MSH Group's in-depth preparation, I was able to feel at home at Carnival from the very first day, and look forward to making a significant contribution to the organization."

Before joining Carnival Corporation last year, Eppinger served as Chief Information Security Officer and VP of IT for the Real Estate & Development, Legal and Pharmacy Systems functions of Supervalu, a $37 billion grocery retail and supply chain. During his tenure, he reduced inventory by $20 million and delivered $4 million in annual savings through a nationally awarded program enabling a virtual workforce, in addition to delivering a world class security environment.

The executive search initiative was led by Juan Gaitan, Managing Director at MSH Group. “Carnival has a major impact on the cruise industry and South Florida talent ecosystem,” said Gaitan. "With our own headquarters in Florida, we were especially pleased to be able to make this vital placement for Carnival, and we are very confident that Gary will make major contributions to Carnival's continued success."

MSH Group was recently featured in Techie.com, a leading publication on innovative tech-focused trends, describing how MSH Group is putting science back into the recruiting industry, which has historically been imprecise and unwieldy. The article describes MSH's approach to talent acquisition, their methodology and exhaustive requirements gathering process that is part of every placement. MSH Group focuses on identifying and onboarding best-in-class talent, going beyond the acquisition phase to offer an end-to-end solution that includes workforce planning and forecasting, talent pipelining and talent assessment and development.
