Selected clients across frontier AI labs, model companies, crypto exchanges and quant funds
The rigor of executive search, none of the theater.
Most roles never hit a job board.
The AI leadership market moves through networks, not applications.
We stand behind every name we send.
Three to five people you can actually hire — each one personally vetted.
A few searches at a time,
by design. Each mandate gets a partner from start to finish.
Three steps.
The brief
A working session, not a form. We leave with the real role, the must-haves and the range.
→ We don't ask for a JD. We build it with you.
The shortlist
We map the market, meet every candidate ourselves, and check references before you see a name.
→ Three to five people you can actually hire.
The hire
We stay through the interviews, the offer and the first weeks.
→ We stand behind every name we send.
Talent placed at category leaders.
Frontier AI, model companies, crypto exchanges, on-chain infra and quant. Some names withheld under confidentiality.
How we work →Some names withheld under confidentiality.
Elite recruiting is not sending résumés. It's knowing who to call on a Tuesday at nine — and why they'll pick up.
A 30-minute call. If it's a fit, we begin — discreetly.
