Private Equity Executive Search & Recruitment
Growth opportunities are on the rise for private equity in Australia and New Zealand. It’s an increasingly competitive market that demands proven leadership and fearless decision-making.
At Allura Partners we specialise in meeting the unique demands of private equity firms. We partner with both private equity firms and their companies, and individuals seeking C-suite positions within these dynamic environments. With a deep understanding of the private equity landscape, Allura Partners offers tailored solutions to ensure the appointment of leaders who can drive transformation, scale businesses, and achieve successful exits.
Our Services for Private Equity Firms
Executive Leadership Appointments
Allura supports private equity firms by appointing experienced leaders to oversee their investments. This includes CEO, CFO, COO, CTO, CPO and other C-suite roles critical to executing strategic plans. Our focus is on identifying executives with a proven track record of scaling businesses and the skills to drive value creation in line with demanding private equity timelines.
In addition to delivering executive search services, we support our private equity clients through all stages of their investment lifecycle, from pre-deal CEO and board identification, specific market intelligence, to the assessment of the acquired management team.
-
Our pre-deal advisory services provide private equity firms with access to industry-specific advisors. These experts assist with due diligence, offering insights that help firms make informed decisions about potential investments. Upon successful acquisition, often the advisors we nominate move into board appointments or executive positions within the portfolio company.
-
Post-deal, we work closely with private equity firms to build out the executive team necessary to implement their investment thesis. Whether the goal is growth, turnaround, or preparing for a future transaction, Allura Partners builds executive leadership teams with the skills and experience needed to achieve the desired outcomes. We then support these leaders with building the functional teams they need for success.
-
Many private equity investments involve founder-led businesses. Allura Partners excels in managing the delicate transition from founder leadership to professional management. We help identify and appoint new CEOs and other executives who can continue to drive the business forward while respecting its established culture and values.
Our Services for Executives
Allura Partners works with executives who are seeking to establish or further their careers within private equity.
We provide these executives introductions to private equity firms, facilitating conversations about how these executives can add value to the private equity investor regarding potential business acquisition strategies that may lead to capital deployment. This approach may result in a new acquisition for the private equity firm led by the advising executive. That said, this approach will lead to the executive having a more productive, robust, and commercial conversation with the private equity investor. And regardless of the outcome this approach will lead to them establishing a long-term relationship with our private equity client that may lead further opportunities.
Overall, our goal is to maintain long-term relationships with executives, offering continuous support and opportunities for growth. By delivering this exceptional candidate experience, we ensure executives are nurtured in their careers, enjoying professional satisfaction and personal reward.
A Unique and Proven Approach
Since its establishment in 2017, Allura Partners has developed a proven track record of consistently delivering results in the three tiers of private equity markets in Australia and New Zealand. Over the years we have delivered c-suite searches for high growth investments typically valued sub-AU$100 million. Additionally, we have supported the large Australian by out funds with their investments typically valued between $200 - $400 million. And finally, appointed executives to lead $500 million+ investments for some of the largest international private equity firms.
Our team have successfully sourced executives for all types of investments from founder-led, corporate carve-outs and public to private takeovers in Australia and New Zealand.
Unlike many recruitment firms that focus on industry specialisation, we offer clients the advantage of functional expertise that is backed by a team of consultants each specialising in CEO, CFO COO, CTO, CPO or other C-suite roles. Industry agnostic with the common thread of private equity, our record of accomplishment is led by private equity investment and therefore predominately sits across high growth sectors; technology, healthcare, consumer, and business services.
Our long-standing relationships with clients and candidates alike foster a deep understanding of the market dynamics and enhance our ability to deliver exceptional results for the likes of Quadrant Private Equity, EQT, Five V Capital, Anchorage Capital Partners among others.
