For almost a decade Equity Executive have been hiring senior business leaders for private equity backed technology and tech-led companies across the UK. Below and across our website you will find more information about our focus, our clients, why clients work with us and our fees. Founded in 2016 Equity Executive is led by Managing Partner, Danny Vanner, an experienced executive search professional in the worlds of technology and private equity. Danny runs the firm day to day with the support of a small, superstar team.

Above are several of our clients and their private equity backers. Below are several client recommendations.

Portfolio Director, Guinness Asset Management – “Danny helped us with the recruitment of a Managing Director. He listened to our requirements and communicated with us proactively through the whole process. He sent across very good candidates; I would say none of the candidates that we interviewed weren’t suitable or couldn’t have done the job. It has been a pleasure working with Danny and he found us an excellent candidate, I would recommend him and use him for future placements.”

CEO, My 1^st Years backed by Beringea & Hargreave Hale – “Danny really took the time to understand our business and we felt he would be a good partner. Danny worked hard to help us secure a high calibre Director who we feel will add good value and this search was managed from start to finish in 2 months.”

Talent Director, Six Degrees Group backed by Charlesbank  – “Danny has always provided fantastic candidates. We have engaged him on different searches and he quickly understands the brief, challenges us where required and delivers.”

Chairman, Xupes backed by Downing LLP – “Danny is clearly very knowledgeable and well connected in the VC/ PE arena. His ability to quickly understand the specific needs of the client and offer a flexible, but tailored approach stands him out from the competition and should lead to more successful results.”

CEO, Property Partner backed by Octopus & Index Ventures – “When we required senior level interim support, Equity Executive quickly introduced us to a highly experienced, top tier, interim operator who in a short space of time helped us improve a number of aspects of the business.”

CEO, Envitia backed by Maven Capital Partners – “I would like to pass on my feedback and recommendation of Danny Vanner from Equity Executive. His support was exemplary – he energetically drove every stage with numerous catch up calls, even over the weekend if necessary due to diaries. His proactive engagement allowed him to get the best understanding of our needs and feedback on candidates to allow him to adjust his search and therefore his shortlist made it hard to choose from some very talented and motivated individuals. He also has a very nice demeanour.”
