Prepared for Jane. A focused search built around the priorities you shared — culture, transferability, and a leader who can rally the team around the next three years.
We are a focused boutique. We work on a small number of mandates at a time, and we treat each one as our own. Three things set us apart on a search like Acme Capital's.
Every mandate is led personally by a partner with operating background. You get one point of contact, accountable end-to-end, with the judgement calls handled at partner level rather than passed down to a research desk.
We approach this as a market mapping exercise. The candidate slate comes from named, intentional outreach — not from advertising or a database export. Most names you'll meet would never have responded to a job ad.
By the end of week one we present a calibration shortlist of three to five operators we'd interview ourselves. You give signal back, we recalibrate, and the longlist sharpens before the formal slate lands.
If this is the right fit, our standard next step is a 60-minute scoping call to align on the role specification, the market context, and the search timeline. I'll send three time options after we hear back.
