No Bullshit. Just Access

---

 I signal discreetly inside trusted networks, engage directly, and close fast. Every search is run with accuracy, discretion, and purpose.

 A European AI infrastructure investor came to me after six months of failed searches with larger firms. They’d seen polished CVs, none with the right blend of capital markets literacy and deep tech infrastructure experience.

I built a short target list within a week, drawn entirely from personal networks. No ads, no cold outreach. Three of the four candidates were off-market senior counsels from major tech companies overseeing global data centre and commercial build-outs.

Within a month, the fund hired their preferred candidate from a leading US cloud provider, someone who’d negotiated billion-dollar infrastructure and energy deals across EMEA.

Result: retained in under ten days, offer accepted in thirty-three, zero drop-outs.

Lesson: real search isn’t volume, it’s access.

A high-growth fintech was preparing for a major product launch into new European markets. They’d briefed two other recruiters before me, both focused on speed rather than fit. The result: dozens of irrelevant profiles and zero progress.

I cut the noise. Instead of sourcing from the usual in-house crowd, I went upstream, targeting lawyers who’d built regulatory frameworks at tier-one banks and had since moved into fintech advisory roles.

Within two weeks, I introduced three candidates, all passively open. The hire came from a global payments company, bringing exactly the blend of regulatory rigour and commercial pragmatism the business needed.

Result: first shortlist in seven days, offer signed in twenty-one, role now embedded as a key part of their European leadership team.

Lesson: precision beats volume, every time.
