Dear Haji Kumar, Thank you for your question. Everything depends a lot on what exactly you want to measure and monitor, and what the responsibilities of this executive are. For example, if the priority is management skills, then you can have a look at this excellent article by Oleg Tumarkin, he is giving there some excellent examples of KPIs for entrepreneurial and management skills.

In this case I would go for a detailed Balanced Scorecard with a strategy map where you will need to analyze current business challenges and map specific goals and objectives of the new executive.

After this it will be a turn for KPIs. In the most cases it will be easy to come up with lagging KPIs (like % of covered markets), and very hard to come up with good leading KPIs (in your case it might be a “number of meetings with qualified decision makers”).

If you need a guide for strategy maps, you can find it here.
