Private Equity, Venture Capital
and Soverign Wealth
The private capital sector is undergoing an unprecedented expansion in both fund inflows and investment activity. With our extensive experience in this field, we are well-positioned to help address the rising demand for top talent. For over thirty years, we have been a key partner for private capital firms seeking to grow and enter new markets.
We are seeing established firms raise larger funds and diversify into new investment areas, such as special situations, venture capital, growth equity, infrastructure, and credit. Additionally, limited partners are increasingly developing their own investment strategies, often taking on roles traditionally held by general partners.
The competition for skilled leaders is intense, and the qualifications required have evolved. Today’s leaders must be agile, collaborative, and skilled across multiple domains, including deal-making, due diligence, strategic planning, operations management, and investor relations. They must excel in high-growth, rapidly changing environments and demonstrate a proactive approach.
We offer recruitment solutions for both fund and portfolio levels. For funds, we source and place leaders in roles such as investment professionals, operating partners, principals, partners, senior advisers, and experts in fields like technology, human resources, investor relations, capital markets, CFOs, and COOs.
At the portfolio level, we address the high demand for C-suite and board positions across industries. Our deep regional and sector-specific expertise enables us to support these businesses effectively. We also provide services including Market Research & Mapping, Forensic Referencing, Pre-Deal Search, and Executive Introductions for board-level roles.
We collaborate with investment firm founders and portfolio company management teams to develop and implement effective talent strategies.
Embracing ESG principles is becoming essential for private capital funds and portfolio companies. Integrating these criteria into investment decisions and organizational practices helps drive sustainable growth, improve operational efficiency, and enhance investor value. We assist in integrating your ESG objectives into your strategies, helping you navigate future challenges and opportunities.
