Context
A top-tier global strategy consultancy operating at the intersection of technology and private equity recognised the need to reinforce its US operations through a critical management hire. The goal was to secure an individual who combined commercial insight, analytical strength, and emerging leadership capability. The mandate centred on identifying someone who could deliver immediate value in commercial due diligence and private equity advisory, while demonstrating clear potential to advance into senior leadership in due course.
Challenge
The role demanded more than functional expertise. The client sought a professional with a demonstrable record of success in private equity advisory and TMT, who could not only manage high-impact projects but also guide and develop junior team members. The key challenge lay in finding someone who could balance near-term delivery strength with the ambition and capacity to grow into a broader leadership position.
Solution
A focused search was executed across major strategy firms and niche consultancies renowned for their private equity and TMT work. From this process, one standout candidate emerged who had led over multiple assignments spanning buy- and sell-side diligence, growth strategy, and portfolio optimisation. He was consistently commended for client impact, team leadership, and mentoring skills. His credentials aligned perfectly with the client’s dual requirement for immediate delivery capability and future leadership potential.
Result
The search was completed within four weeks. After carefully managing alignment between both parties, an offer was extended and promptly accepted. The hire has strengthened the firm’s US private capital advisory capability and created a clear pathway for the individual’s progression into senior management.
