The brief
The CEO had been VP of Engineering by default for four years. The company had just raised and needed a leader who could double the team without adding a single layer it didn’t need.
Who we’re looking for
The shortlist had six people the founders wanted to hire. We placed a leader who had scaled a similar team from 30 to 110 and still reviews pull requests on Fridays.
How the search runs
A named partner runs the search from brief to offer. We map the market in the first two weeks, make every first approach ourselves, and share the funnel with you every Friday: who we called, who said no, and why.
Interested, or know someone who should be? Write to the partner on this search. Every conversation is confidential, and we never send a CV without your permission.
