CEO Executive Search
Partnering with Private Equity firms to appoint leaders who can drive transformation, scale businesses, and achieve successful exits.
We specialise in creating long-term partnerships that align exceptional leaders with the growth objectives of private equity firms and their portfolio companies. With a successful record in transforming ANZ private equity leadership, we focus on finding exceptional executives who can drive an organisation forward while staying true to its values and aspirations. Through in-depth discovery conversations, we dive deep into the company’s investment thesis, culture, and leadership needs to ensure the right fit— and drive value creation in line with private equity timelines (typically 3-5 years).
We understand that a great CEO in the private equity world is more than just a qualified candidate.
They are strategic partners in the business’s long-term success, whilst also laser focused on executing that strategy towards a liquidity event. They shape culture, inspire teams, attract top talent, and drive performance - often through periods of significant transformation.
We identify leaders who not only have a strong track record of delivering results but also embody the values and vision necessary to enhance the company’s standing with investors, employees and customers. In founder-led transitions, EQ is one of the most important attributes; being able to work in that dynamic between PE owners and Founders who have led the business until this point.
The right CEO can shape how a company is viewed in the marketplace and create a ripple effect of success. Allura Partners mission is built around nurturing proven leaders who inspire trust, take calculated risks, deliver results, and lead organisations through complex transitions with strategic foresight.
