Executive search / Functional expertise / Chief Executive Officer

Chief Executive Officer search.

We find and place Chief Executive Officers for deep-tech companies - technically assessed, discreetly approached, retained search.

The mandate

What a Chief Executive Officer really decides.

The CEO owns the company's reason to exist - the thesis, the capital and the bar for talent. In deep tech they must be fluent enough in the technology to lead the people who build it.

The wrong CEO burns the runway proving the wrong thesis; the right one turns a hard technical bet into a market before anyone else believes it.

Your mission needs a founder-grade operator who has taken deep technology to market - and whom the best engineers and investors will follow.
