My core client types

Private Equity and investment firms

Private Equity and investment firms

Private Equity and investment firms

 Funds, platforms, portfolio businesses.

You’re hiring into environments where:


  • the board is involved
     
  • timelines are aggressive
     
  • mistakes get expensive quickly
     
  • “good enough” doesn’t survive contact with reality
     

Fintech and financial services

Private Equity and investment firms

Private Equity and investment firms

 Fintechs, payments, lenders, asset managers, brokers, regulated scale-ups.


If regulation, risk, and speed all collide in your business model, you’re in my lane.

Complex growth businesses

Private Equity and investment firms

Complex growth businesses

 This is where hiring “nice” fails and hiring “good” wins. Tech-enabled, international, operationally messy, scaling fast:


  • multiple jurisdictions
     
  • commercial intensity
     
  • high internal politics
     
  • constant change

Talent Troubleshooting

The roles I’m most often trusted with

 My bullseye is senior legal leadership, especially where judgement matters more than technical perfection:


  • General Counsel / Chief Legal Officer
     
  • Deputy GC / Head of Legal
     
  • Head of Compliance / Risk
     
  • Senior Counsel (when it’s genuinely high stakes)
     
  • Legal Ops leadership (when the function needs leverage)
     

I’ll also take on adjacent leadership roles when the brief is clear and the stakes are real:


  • Chief of Staff / COO-type operators
     
  • Strategy / Transformation leads
     
  • Senior commercial leaders in regulated / complex environments
     

When clients usually call me

 If any of this sounds familiar:


  • “We need someone senior. Not just experienced.”
     
  • “The business has outgrown the current setup.”
     
  • “We can’t afford a hire that needs hand-holding.”
     
  • “We need pace, but we can’t do a panic hire.”
     
  • “We’ve got lots of activity and no progress.”
     

Who I’m not for

 If you want:


  • a high-volume CV pump
     
  • a recruiter who says yes to everything
     
  • a process designed to keep everyone comfortable
     

I’m not the right fit.

I don’t try to be everything to everyone

My kind of client...

 I work with a specific type of business: ambitious, complex, and slightly allergic to mediocrity.

Usually backed by serious money. Usually moving fast. Usually hiring under pressure.

If you’re building something real and you need senior people who can operate in the real world, we’ll get on.
