We’re dedicated to helping industry professionals and young ambitious talent build better futures in this sector. We designed our unique ‘Future CFO’ series to provide senior finance leaders with a peer-to-peer network and the opportunity to hear from those who have already been on the journey.

The series upskills in four key aspects of the CFO role: Board management, Value Creation Plan building, debt management, and transaction leadership. Each session is led by expert speakers who are multi-exit leading CFOs, CEOs, and Investment Directors from well-known globally operating companies.

“Dartmouth Partners operate as just that: a partner. In executive search, it is easy to find those that sugarcoat candidate profiles to try to push a square peg, but Dartmouth are differentiated in digging into the company’s needs and thereby providing a candidate’s pros/cons upfront from a truly consultative approach.”
