In season four, episode four, I connected with William Vanderbloemen, an entrepreneur, pastor, speaker, author, CEO, and founder of Vanderbloemen Search Group.

With over 15 years of ministry experience as a Senior Pastor, his expertise blends seamlessly with executive search best practices, offering faith-based organizations a distinctive service. Before establishing Vanderbloemen Search Group, he apprenticed in executive search, where he gained valuable insights into corporate practices and search strategies from renowned firms like Russell Reynolds.

William's background includes managerial roles in Human Resources within a Fortune 200 company, focusing on corporate culture integration and succession planning. In addition, his pastoral journey allowed him to serve churches in North Carolina, Alabama, and Houston, including transformative experiences such as rebuilding and relocating congregations and leading a historic Houston church as its Senior Pastor.

His abilities extend beyond the pulpit; William is a sought-after speaker at churches and conferences nationwide and the author of several acclaimed pastoral leadership and succession planning books, including his most recent release, "Be The Unicorn." I hope this conversation inspires you to look honestly at how you can become a unicorn and identify them to add to your teams.
