CFP Board Begins Process in CEO Hiring

CFP Board today announced that it has retained executive recruitment firm Spencer Stuart to assist in the search for its next chief executive officer. The search follows the February announcement of CFP Board CEO Kevin R. Keller’s planned April 2026 retirement.

The Board of Directors began preparing for this transition early in 2025, forming a CEO Search Committee led by 2025 Chair-Elect Terri Kallsen, CFP.

“The Board of Directors is approaching this transition with a clear plan, and we are excited to partner with Spencer Stuart in this important search,” said CFP Board Chair Liz Miller, CFP, CFA.

The search begins immediately.

“We’re looking for an innovative leader who will not only drive our strategic initiatives forward but also embody the core values of our organization — integrity, commitment to the profession and a focus on the public interest,” said Kallsen.

CFP Board says it invites highly qualified candidates to apply.
