Who We Are & Why This Role Exists

We are an Executive Search firm operating at the sharpest end of quant, finance and technology recruitment.

Today, we consistently outperform firms with decades of heritage.

The numbers:

• $400k-500k+ average production per head

• $100k-700k fee mandates

• Multiple seven-figure billers
