Carve out, PE-backed advisory firm

Our client, a PE-backed spin-off of a Big4 advisory firm had the mandate to diversify outside their core service offering. Arete Talent was tasked to identify high-performing individuals in forensic technology, who could establish a new global practice.

Using our network of senior consulting and advisory leaders we were able to quickly identify the perfect candidate for our client. This individual was vetted for their fee-generating history, ability to establish a practice by leveraging an unknown brand and cultural fit for the organisation in a period of transformation.

Arete Talent were able to successfully coach and manage both the client and candidate through a well-informed, thorough process within a short time frame. We advised on strategic exit plans for the candidate and helped them with a smooth resignation process with their existing employer.
