Context
A growth-focused boutique strategy consultancy, specialising in private equity and strategic growth, was entering a period of accelerated demand as private equity firms increased their investment activity and sought deeper insight into TMT deal opportunities. With transaction volumes rising and portfolio value creation becoming more data-driven, the firm was taking on a greater number of complex commercial due diligence and growth strategy mandates. To meet this momentum, and to continue differentiating through sector depth and analytical rigour, the consultancy required a Principal who could provide senior leadership across engagements, strengthen client relationships, and support the firm’s broader push to scale its private equity offering.
Challenge
The brief required a candidate with extensive experience in commercial due diligence (CDD) and growth strategy, particularly within the TMT (Technology, Media, and Telecom) sectors, as well as a strong track record of working with private equity clients. The ideal candidate needed to lead fast-paced, complex projects, influence senior stakeholders, and mentor teams while maintaining a rigorous analytical standard.
Solution
Consulting Point conducted a focused search within the strategy consulting and private equity ecosystems, targeting individuals with proven leadership across commercial due diligence and growth strategy assignments. We identified a standout candidate with more than a decade of relevant experience spanning digital infrastructure, enterprise software, and media and streaming. Their track record included leading more than 50 commercial due diligence engagements across the US and Latin America, supported by strong team leadership and commercial judgement.
Result
The candidate advanced seamlessly through the interview process, demonstrating clear alignment with the firm’s leadership expectations and sector priorities. They accepted the offer shortly after final discussions. Their appointment strengthens the firm’s private equity advisory and growth strategy capabilities, bringing immediate delivery impact and long-term leadership potential as the consultancy continues to scale its TMT offering and expand its client base
