    We guide and advise Founders & CEOs on the entire executive search process and pride ourselves on speed and high quality delivery.

    We partner with VC & PE firms to build world-class GTM teams to drive revenue growth and maximize value in their investments.

    Our niche in placing only top level roles, limited number of engagements, vast experience and client successes, is what sets us apart.

  • We are seasoned experts and run the entire search process end-to-end. No delegating to junior staff or analysts.

    We invest in our clients to ensure we’re fully aligned and dedicate unique efforts into each engagement.

    We share our search data and progress in real time through our proprietary platform.

    We only take on limited engagements to ensure high quality delivery and our undivided attention.

    Don’t take our word for it. See a “word” from our clients.
