“With her deep knowledge of ADLM’s mission and her financial expertise, I could not be more excited that Ms. Dasco has stepped into the role of CFO. Her proven ability in growing revenue and forecasting the impact of new programs will be invaluable as our organization strives to expand and to be more inclusive of all professionals who specialize in laboratory medicine.”

About the Search for ADLM’s Next CFO
After a deep discovery process to identify the organization’s most critical business issues and strategic priorities, Staffing Advisors sought an executive to carefully evaluate ADLM’s programs, products, and services to find ways to reach new audiences, grow revenue (reducing reliance on the Annual Scientific Meeting and Clinical Lab Expo), and identify cost-saving opportunities.
The search was led by Staffing Advisors Vice President of Executive Search Aileen Hedden, with strategy consulting from Founder & President Bob Corlett and support from the entire Staffing Advisors team.
Working closely with the ADLM’s leadership, Staffing Advisors surfaced several key focus areas that would demonstrate success within the new leader’s first 1-2 years:
- In collaboration with C-suite peers, collect and compile market intelligence to help position ADLM in the lab medicine association space and pursue opportunities for growth.
- Develop and implement a financial and operational strategy along with KPIs to measure progress. This includes analyzing the strengths and weaknesses in the association’s finances, exploring new business models, forecasting the impact of new or expanded initiatives, evaluating and recommending business partner opportunities, developing and monitoring control systems to preserve assets, and accurately reporting financial results.
- Maintain the association’s relationship with banks and the financial community and support the financial decision-making of the board of directors.
The Staffing Advisors team was honored to support ADLM in this important leadership transition. Since 2022, we have partnered with ADLM on several key roles, including a Chief Executive Officer and a Chief Membership and Market Development Officer.
