Partner & Directors - Change Management Practice
Our client wanted to evolve from a strong boutique French practice into a change management team capable of operating internationally, without losing the high-touch, high-quality approach that defined its reputation. The brief required senior talent able to combine consulting rigour, client credibility, bilingual communication, and the ambition to help scale the practice beyond its domestic base.
Deputy Head of Investor Relations
Our client was looking to hire a Deputy Head of Investor Relations with the analytical depth and market credibility to engage effectively with investors and the wider financial community. The challenge was to identify candidates capable of stepping out of the sell side and into a strategic in-house role, while combining strong equity story understanding, stakeholder management skills, and the confidence to operate in a large listed international business. - **Approach:** We focused the search on high-calibre sell-side equity research analysts with strong exposure to listed companies, capital markets, and investor-facing environments. Beyond technical valuation and financial communication skills, we assessed each candidate on their ability to transition from external analysis to internal representation: understanding management priorities, shaping messaging, and building credibility with investors, analysts, and senior leadership. Particular attention was paid to communication style, strategic judgement, and the capacity to move from pure analysis into a broader corporate role.
Building the Senior Team for a Major Luxury Account
Our client needed to confidentially build out the senior leadership bench supporting one of the world’s most demanding luxury accounts. The brief was not limited to a single hire: the challenge was to recruit multiple senior profiles across strategy, client leadership, media investment, and digital activation, while ensuring consistency of quality and cultural fit across the team. Given the visibility of the account, each hire needed the credibility to operate in a high-expectation, fast-moving, and politically sensitive client environment.
Building a Project Finance and Infrastructure Advisory Practice
Our client wanted to establish a credible project finance and infrastructure advisory practice in a market where experienced teams are scarce and highly mobile. The challenge was not simply to hire a few individuals, but to build a practice with enough technical depth, market credibility, and internal cohesion to compete from day one.
