Raees Mahmood

As an Associate Director at Dartmouth Partners, Raees' specialty lies in recruiting for Corporate Finance and Investment Banking.

About

Raees is passionate about providing an honest and unbiased experience with anyone he works with, clients and candidates alike. For him, honesty and openness are the cornerstones for long and strong partnerships that last far beyond the recruitment stage.

Before his time at Dartmouth, he took his first steps into recruitment at a financial services boutique recruitment firm. He was responsible for placing hires into the Private Equity and M&A sectors globally.

His analytical, collaborative, and supportive nature allows him to expertly support businesses and talents. Nowadays, he collects data for and leads our Investment Banking compensation reports, which are published twice a year. He is a leading expert in compensation trends across London’s investment banking.

Raees studied Philosophy at the University of Southampton. Outside of the office, Raees enjoys the theatre and is on a mission to go to as many music concerts as he can. He also spends his off-time enjoying games.

“I recently supported a client on a bespoke piece of market research. The project took several months and hundreds of hours of conversations with individuals, utilising relationships across both my candidate and client network. I was extremely proud of the result and felt it highlighted how we can help to shape our clients' businesses outside of recruitment.”
