Case Studies
Real-world examples of how we've helped organizations find exceptional talent for their emerging technology needs
PE-Backed Consulting Firm - AI Leadership Team
Challenge
A private equity-backed consulting firm needed to rapidly establish AI capabilities to remain competitive in a rapidly evolving market. They faced significant challenges in attracting top AI talent due to competition from tech giants and had a tight timeline to launch new AI-powered service offerings to clients.
Solution
We developed a comprehensive talent acquisition strategy focused on the intersection of AI expertise and consulting experience. Our specialized knowledge of the AI sector allowed us to identify and engage with leaders who could both build technical capabilities and translate them into client value. We conducted extensive market mapping and leveraged our network to identify candidates with the rare combination of technical depth and commercial acumen.
Impact
A fully formed AI leadership capability was established in under 3 months. This positioned the firm to go to market with credible, productized AI and AI security solutions. The new leadership team began reshaping the company's go-to-market strategy, internal tooling, and client delivery models through AI. Most importantly, these foundational hires now influence the firm's commercial direction and culture, creating lasting impact beyond their immediate technical contributions.
Fortune 100 - Emerging Tech Leadership Team
Challenge
A Fortune 100 company was launching a new emerging technologies division to drive innovation across the enterprise. They needed to quickly hire two Senior Directors who could lead strategic initiatives in AI, blockchain, and IoT. The positions required a rare blend of technical expertise, leadership experience, and the ability to navigate a complex corporate environment.
Solution
We implemented our retained search process with a focus on candidates with proven track records of leading emerging technology initiatives in large enterprises. Our approach included comprehensive market mapping across industries to identify leaders who had successfully integrated cutting-edge technologies into established business models. We conducted rigorous technical and leadership assessments to ensure candidates could both understand the technologies and drive organizational adoption.
Impact
We successfully placed two Senior Directors in less than 3 months, significantly faster than the client's previous executive searches. The new leaders rapidly established credibility with both technical teams and business stakeholders, accelerating the company's technology transformation initiatives. Within six months, they had launched three pilot projects that demonstrated measurable business impact and established a framework for scaling emerging technology adoption across the enterprise.
Fortune 100 - Data Science Leadership Team
Challenge
A Fortune 100 company needed to build specialized data science leadership to drive AI/ML initiatives across the organization. They required two Senior Directors - one with marketing specialization and one with broader enterprise AI experience. Previous attempts to fill these positions had been unsuccessful due to the highly competitive market for AI/ML talent and the specific domain expertise required.
Solution
We developed a targeted search strategy focused on data science leaders with experience scaling AI/ML capabilities in similar enterprise environments. For the marketing specialist role, we specifically targeted candidates with experience applying machine learning to customer analytics and personalization. Our comprehensive assessment process evaluated not only technical capabilities but also the ability to translate complex AI concepts for business stakeholders and drive organizational change.
Impact
We successfully placed both Senior Directors in less than three months. The marketing specialist quickly implemented new predictive analytics capabilities that increased campaign performance by 32%. The general AI/ML leader established a center of excellence that now supports AI initiatives across multiple business units. Together, these leaders have transformed how the organization leverages data for decision-making and created a roadmap for continued AI/ML adoption.
Cybersecurity Leadership for Enterprise Software Company
Challenge
A leading enterprise software company needed to strengthen their cybersecurity leadership after a series of high-profile industry breaches. They required a CISO who could both enhance their security posture and communicate effectively with their board and customers.
Solution
We implemented our retained search process, conducting in-depth interviews with potential candidates to assess not only technical capabilities but also leadership style and communication skills. We provided comprehensive candidate assessments and facilitated discussions between final candidates and key stakeholders.
Impact
The selected CISO implemented a security transformation program that achieved ISO 27001 certification within 12 months and established the company as a security leader in their industry. This directly contributed to winning several major enterprise contracts where security was a key decision factor.
