Executive Search
Ambitious, private equity-backed businesses need exceptional leaders to drive value and growth. Exceptional, not average. Inspirational, not run-of-the-mill. Accountable, not indecisive. People who make things happen. People with the right cultural mindset for the private equity-backed journey. We find, assess and introduce these very people into your business, which can change the game.
Interim Management
Interim Management has a key role to play in delivering key projects or filling unexpected leadership gaps. Existing management teams may lack the capacity, skill sets and experience needed to match the pace of change and growth in private equity-backed businesses, therefore a seasoned executive level Interim can deliver value quickly and cost effectively.
Talent Mapping
Support your growth strategy by having current talent insights. Our talent mapping services are most effective when an Investor or Executive Team predict the need to grow their employee base, whether that be for multiple hires, succession planning, or an impending Executive change/addition.
M&A Mapping
As a specialist to the PE industry, we utilise our research capability and networks to support Investors and Executive teams to identify exciting M&A opportunities, many that are off market, that can create inorganic value alongside classic growth.
What Our Clients Say
“I have used the Marble Hill team several times for Senior Executive recruitment and they have delivered on time on each occasion against some difficult requirements. I find they are particularly good at finding candidates who are more regionally based outside of London, that other head-hunters often fail to identify. I find their communication is second to none and what really impresses me is the great feedback of the experience that is given by the candidates – both successful and unsuccessful – this is really important. I would highly recommend James and the team!”
“We needed a CFO with a profile that could make an immediate impact on this business, especially as we get closer to an exit process. Marble Hill Partners knew our space very well and their track record meant they intuitively knew the core competencies needed for this person, and understood the level of success that we were looking for, as this hire was critical to us. The search process had good pace, with some great candidates being shortlisted, which really gave us confidence we would find the right person. End to end it has been a great search process and I would recommend Marble Hill Partners.”
“Marble Hill Partners have successfully placed 3 Managing Director level Executives within our portfolio over the last 3 years.
They adapted each search to our requirements and worked side by side with us as we engaged the talent market, for what are always critical positions for the growth of our portfolio businesses.
I would recommend Marble Hill Partners to any Investors looking to identify and add high quality executive and senior leadership talent to their portfolio businesses.”
The Right Mindset
From our experience and having conducted a psychological research study, we know that the high-pressured nature of private equity ownership is not for everyone, and believe that it takes a certain ‘type’ of person to navigate it.
Our research scientifically proved this belief, and since then, has been a core part of our candidate assessment process, and is the foundation of our ‘Mindset Assessment’.
