Position: Engagement Manager - Private Capital

Salary: $200,000
Assignment Timescale: 6 weeks
Result: Completed
Context
A leading global strategy consultancy at the intersection of technology and private equity identified the need to strengthen its US practice with a pivotal management hire. The objective was to appoint an individual with strong commercial acumen, analytical rigour, and clear leadership potential. The brief focused on securing someone capable of delivering immediate impact in commercial due diligence and private equity advisory, while also demonstrating the ambition to progress into senior leadership.
Challenge
The appointment required more than technical expertise. The client needed a professional with a proven track record in private equity advisory and TMT, combined with the ability to lead case delivery and develop junior consultants. The central challenge was to balance immediate delivery capability with the trajectory toward broader leadership responsibilities.
Solution
We conducted a targeted search across leading strategy firms and specialist consultancies with strong credentials in private equity and TMT. One candidate emerged as the clear match. Based in the US, he has delivered over 30 assignments covering buy- and sell-side due diligence, growth strategy, and portfolio optimisation. He was recognised for consistent client impact, strong upward feedback, and the ability to lead and develop case teams. This profile met the client’s requirement for both immediate capability and long-term leadership potential.
Result
The search concluded within four weeks. Following close alignment of expectations between client and candidate, an offer was extended and accepted. The appointment strengthens the firm’s US private capital advisory practice and provides a platform for the candidate’s progression into senior leadership.
