Executive & Senior Leadership Recruiting
We partner with private equityfirms, portfolio companies, first-time funds, venture-backed startups, and small to mid-sized businesses ($10–$500M in revenue) to place proven operating leaders across finance, operations, supply chain, and technology—executives who bring structure, discipline, and credibility during periods of rapid growth, transition, or institutional change without overbuilding teams or introducing unnecessary complexity.
What We Do
We conduct executive and senior-level searches aligned to PE ownership cycles, value-creation plans, and the realities of lower- and middle-market businesses:
CFOs, Controllers & Finance Leadership for PE-backed and growing small businesses
COOs, Plant Leaders, Engineer, & Operational Executives in lean, hands-on environments
Supply Chain & Procurement Leadership for scaling operations
Technology, Systems & Product Leaders supporting operational maturity
Every search is anchored to accountability, execution, and measurable operating improvement
Built for PE and Small-Business Operating Reality
Speed matters in private equity—and so does precision in smaller organizations.
At the outset of each engagement, we define what success looks like 12–15 months post-close or post-hire, whether that is professionalizing a founder-led business or executing against a PE value-creation plan. That definition shapes:
Leadership criteria tied to the investment thesis or growth plan
Assessment against comparable PE-backed and small-business environments
Evaluation of execution, change leadership, and decision-making in resource-constrained settings
Our process reduces mis-hire risk, accelerates impact, and supports hold-period and scale-up objectives.
Who We Partner With:
Private equity firms seeking repeatable leadership outcomes
Portfolio company boards and executives navigating growth, integration, or turnaround
Lower-middle-market and small, operationally intense businesses transitioning from founder-led to professionally managed teams
We are most effective when leadership quality is a material driver of returns and stability.
The Result
Clients work with us when the cost of a miss is high and leadership performance is non-negotiable. Our approach produces executives who execute quickly, scale with the business, and create durable value throughout the hold period.
If leadership is central to your investment thesis, we should talk.
