Our Work
The businesses that come to us are not looking for a recruiter. They are navigating serious change, a transformation, a leadership gap, or a moment where the wrong call costs them everything. That is when we get the call.

What they were going through
A global advisory firm was experiencing strong growth in large-scale transformation demand across EMEA, driven by PE value-creation programmes and complex corporate restructurings. However, leadership capability across the region was fragmented, with reliance on a small number of senior Partners to cover multiple markets.
What was at stake
Without dedicated Partner-level leadership and embedded delivery teams in key European markets, the firm risked stalling momentum, over-stretching senior leadership, and failing to convert pipeline into repeatable, scalable work across EMEA.
What changed
We supported the appointment of a Senior EMEA Transformation Partner and led the structured build-out of a multi-country leadership and delivery team spanning Strategy, Operating Model, PMI and Value Creation. The firm now operates with clear regional ownership, stronger execution capability, and a scalable EMEA transformation platform.
What they were going through
A Tier-1 consultancy was seeing increased demand from TMT clients for complex digital, infrastructure and post-acquisition transformation programmes. While the firm had strong advisory credentials, its TMT leadership bench was skewed towards strategy rather than hands-on delivery.
What was at stake
Client expectations were shifting towards execution. Without Partners who could run large, in-flight programmes and engage credibly with CIOs, CTOs and sponsors, the firm risked losing ground on major TMT transformation mandates.
What changed
We supported the hire of a TMT Transformation Partner with deep operational delivery experience, followed by targeted Director and Senior Manager hires across Digital Transformation, Operating Model and PMO. This materially strengthened the firm's ability to win and deliver complex TMT programmes across Europe.
What they were going through
A global consulting firm was rapidly expanding its Middle East presence to support sovereign wealth funds, PE sponsors and portfolio companies. Demand for value-creation and execution-led work was accelerating faster than the firm's leadership capacity.

What changed
We supported the appointment of a Middle East Value Creation Partner and led the build-out of a cross-functional execution team covering Cost Transformation, Integration and PMO. The practice is now a core growth engine for PE-led work in the region, with sustainable leadership and delivery depth in place.
