Interim leadership for
Private Equity

Dartmouth approached us shortly after we secured private equity investment and demonstrated a strong understanding of the pressures and expectations that follow. They provided a candidate who was not only technically and sector-aligned, but also an excellent cultural fit. Throughout the process, they were flexible and pragmatic in negotiations, ensuring the final outcome worked well for all parties involved.

HitecVision engaged Dartmouth’s Interim practice to appoint an Interim CFO for one of our offshore wind assets ahead of deal completion. We needed someone who could provide immediate transactional support and then drive the professionalisation and transformation of the business post-deal. Dartmouth delivered a shortlist of three exceptional candidates within 24 hours, despite the challenges of the location, and one stood out as an outstanding fit. They demonstrated a deep understanding of the sector, the nuances of energy transition investments, and the demands of operating in complex, high-growth environments. Their speed, judgement, and network at this level made them an excellent partner we’ll certainly be working with them again.

It was evident from our first meeting that Victoria understood Inflexion’s portfolio, knew the market, and had an extensive network of high-calibre candidates. Since that meeting, Victoria has supported on a number of Interim HRD and Interim Chief People Officer roles. In every case, she’s matched the PE pace and delivered high-quality candidates and I always appreciate how she provides a number of different options to test exactly what is required. She’s is flexible in her approach and happy to adapt as requirements evolve and I expect to continue to recommend and use her across Inflexion’s portfolio.

Ankura approached Dartmouth to support our UK operation with Interim Finance leadership expertise. As a Private Equity-backed professional services firm, we needed a partner who not only understood the demands of Private Equity and the nuances of the professional services sector but also had a ready-to-mobilise candidate pool. From our very first interaction, Dartmouth demonstrated this expertise in abundance, and were able to provide tailored, sector-specific recommendations on the same day leading to the successful appointment of an outstanding candidate. This was our first experience with Dartmouth’s Interim practice but certainly won’t be our last.

Dartmouth takes the time to get to know you, your firm, and the fundamentals of what sets you apart. They place a high value on understanding your culture and people and this has been proven through the successful onboarding of multiple high calibre placements on our team.

You clearly listened and understood exactly what we were looking for and regularly sent very qualified candidates our way. I have been in finance for 25 years and have dealt with many headhunters. I have never actually written an email after a placement to provide positive feedback, but you deserve it.
