Context
As private equity activity in the United States continued to grow, a boutique strategy consultancy sought to strengthen its position in this area. The firm had developed a solid reputation in transaction advisory work but recognised the need to broaden its leadership capability to deliver more consistently across diligence and value creation assignments.
Challenge
The consultancy aimed to appoint an experienced professional who could combine consulting discipline with practical deal and corporate exposure. They required someone able to lead commercial due diligence projects, develop trusted relationships with private equity clients, and contribute to the continued growth of the practice.
Solution
A targeted search commenced to identify professionals with both consulting and corporate experience who could strengthen the firm’s private equity capability. Through this process, a candidate was introduced who had previously worked in consulting before moving into a senior role within industry and was keen to return to the advisory environment. Their background combined strategic planning, transaction support, and organisational design, including the development of international growth strategies presented at board level and the design of new operating models for portfolio businesses. This mix of consulting and corporate experience positioned them well to contribute quickly and add depth to the firm’s delivery capability.
Result
Completed within five weeks, the search delivered an appointment that positions the firm to further strengthen its leadership team and deepen relationships with private equity and corporate clients. The new hire is expected to play a key role in winning and delivering larger commercial due diligence and post-deal assignments, while supporting the expansion of the firm’s presence in high-growth sectors such as life sciences. This appointment provides a strong platform for continued development of the firm’s private equity practice.
