A global investment bank engaged us following a series of strategic acquisitions within its private capital advisory division. The mandate was clear: find a leader capable of integrating newly acquired teams and processes, scaling operations, and maintaining the institutional standard the firm's clients expect.
The Chair of an $800m private equity group needed more than exceptional support. The mandate was clear: find someone who could read the room, understand the key players across his world, and operate as a genuine extension of his office — attending critical meetings, driving business development initiatives, and bringing the commercial sophistication a group of that scale demands.
A leading global asset manager engaged us to find a Chief of Staff capable of doing more than managing the executive office. The mandate was clear: find someone who could bring rigour to how the firm reported on AUM across its entire portfolio - reducing a process that took weeks down to days, and giving senior leadership the information they needed to make faster, better decisions.
A fast-scaling London FinTech engaged us as their CEO accelerated expansion across the UK and into the US. The mandate was clear: build out the CEO's office with two complementary hires - an Analyst to own the intelligence layer, travelling with the CEO and ensuring he was prepared for every room he walked into, and an Executive Assistant to turn that into action across global coordination and key relationships.
