For private equity, growth equity and venture talent and operating partners
Search and research for portfolio companies.
One partner across several portfolio companies: for the hires that repeat from company to company, and for the defined research questions a board or operating team is working through.
Portfolio hiring repeats. So do the questions.
Companies in the same space hire the same profiles from the same small talent pools, and their boards ask similar questions. A partner who has already done the work once starts the next assignment with context instead of from zero.
The same profiles, company by company
Leadership roles after a deal, and the client-facing roles that reopen: implementation, client success, sales, AI deployment. Calibrated once, carried across the portfolio.
How a search runs →Defined questions, source-backed answers
Comparing competitors' public offerings for a portfolio company. Checking the evidence behind an assumption in a plan. A brief that separates facts from our interpretation and says what remains unknown.
Business research →Set once, used across the portfolio
One agreement at the sponsor level that each portfolio company can use. Each assignment is scoped before it starts.
What this isn't. Not investment diligence, and not legal, financial or investment advice. We don't claim experience in every industry or warm access to any particular company. We'll say when a question needs specialist expertise, paid data or direct customer research.
Map. Scope. Run.
The AI agent team does the research at every company in the program. I lead the conversations and make the recommendations.
Map
A call with the talent or operating partner: which companies, which roles or questions, and which have been open longest.
Scope
A working session with each company's leader. The role or the question, the scope and the useful output, agreed in writing.
Run
Searches and research briefs under the agreed terms. Status to each company, and to you if you want it.
Research we publish, with dates and sources.
Three health technology resources, free to read. Each one says when it was last updated and links every item to its source. They describe what we found on those dates, not a live feed.

Recruiting from inside sponsor-backed companies.
Most of my recruiting has been with health technology and tech-enabled services companies, including work alongside in-house teams at sponsor-backed companies through a platform deal, an acquisition and a carve-out. That's our strongest background, not a limit on the research questions we take on.
Set once. Scoped per assignment.
An agreement at the sponsor level that each portfolio company can use. Each search or research question is scoped before it starts: what it has to deliver, how we'll work and what the company receives.
Candidates are never charged to be considered for a search, and nothing is submitted without their permission.

Straight answers.
- Do you work with the sponsor or the portfolio company?
- Either. Most engagements are introduced by the talent or operating partner and run directly with the company's CEO or people leader.
- What kinds of research questions do you take?
- Defined questions a board or operating team is working through, such as comparing competitors' public offerings for a portfolio company or checking the evidence behind an assumption in a plan. You receive a source-backed brief that separates facts from our interpretation and says what remains unknown. This is not investment diligence or legal, financial or investment advice.
- Can you handle a confidential leadership replacement?
- Yes. Confidential searches are handled discreetly, and no client names are used in outreach.
- How are terms set?
- Terms can be set once at the sponsor level and used at each portfolio company, with each assignment scoped before it starts. Everything is set in a short written agreement. We don't publish a price list.
- Which companies fit?
- Our strongest background is health technology and tech-enabled services, including sponsor-backed companies through a platform deal, an acquisition and a carve-out. That's a strength, not a boundary on the research questions we take on. We'll say when a question needs specialist expertise, paid data or direct customer research.
- Do candidates pay anything?
- No. The hiring company pays the fee. Candidates are never charged to be considered for a search, and nothing is submitted without their permission.
- How do we start?
- Email the company and the role or question, or book 15 minutes.
Which portfolio role or question has been open longest?
Send me the company and the role or question in two lines. If it's easier to talk, book 15 minutes. No deck, no pitch.
