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

“For any candidate or client in the private equity space, I would not hesitate in recommending Marble Hill Partners as a search partner of choice.

Their understanding of the private equity market, as well as their network, is impressive, allowing them to bring additional value to their proposition,”

Mike Rice

Managing Partner, Isara

“Marble Hill Partners worked closely with us for a key Executive hire and were engaging throughout the process. They were especially good in managing the offer stage as we  were in a competitive market.

The person they found is phenomenal and has quickly become a leader in the business.”

Jon DeVries

CEO, Mirada

“Marble Hill Partners have successfully placed two Managing Director level candidates within our portfolio over the last three years.

They adapted each search to our requirements and worked side by side with us as we engaged the market, in what were two critical positions.”

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’.
