Practice
What we are retained for.
FVK is engaged by sponsors and their portfolio companies when the appointment is consequential and the search must remain quiet. Four practice areas, run from London across the UK, Benelux, DACH and the Nordics.
Finance leadership
CFOs, Finance Directors and the senior finance appointments a value creation plan depends on. This is the centre of the practice. CFO search for private equity-backed companies.
Transformation and integration
Chief Transformation Officers, integration leads and PMO leadership for post-acquisition priorities, carve-outs, systems work and the delivery of the plan the deal was underwritten on.
Technology and operating leadership
CIOs, CTOs, data leaders and operating executives who improve systems, reporting, process discipline and decision quality across a portfolio.
Market mapping
Confidential mapping of comparable companies and candidate pools, run ahead of a mandate or alongside a thesis. Useful when the question is whether the person exists before the question is who to hire.
How the work runs
Retained, and deliberately small. Searches are run by the principal rather than handed to a research team. Why that model, and when contingency is the better choice.
Where we work
London office, with coverage across Benelux, DACH and the Nordics as well as the UK, working in Dutch, English, German and French. Coverage in full.
