building boards & management teams for investor backed businesses

Danny Vanner, Founder & Managing Partner

Hello, I’m Danny, Founder of search firm Equity Executive which for over a decade now has been building builds and management teams for ambitious, investor backed businesses across the UK.

As a company owner, I love business and so am privileged that through my firm day to day I get to work with ambitious business leaders and investors, learn about their innovative, high potential and high growth companies, understand their key challenges, so for example scalability challenges, investor challenges, financial challenges, leadership challenges and market challenges and help them identify, attract and recruit the type of leaders they need to overcome these challenges and achieve success, so for example leaders who are strategic, committed, adaptive, resourceful, investor smart, financially, commercially and operationally astute and exit smart.

In terms of our search process, we run rigorous searches with urgency, so for each search we typically conduct 100+ hours of research, consider and approach 100+ prospective candidates, provide shortlists within 3 weeks of engagement and complete searches within 6 – 8 weeks of engagement.

In terms of our fee structure, unlike many providers we do not charge the earth, we work to a fair and largely results based fee structure.

I care deeply about customer value and pride myself on running a search firm which provides an exceptional level of service and return for its clients.

When I am not working I enjoy spending my time with family, travelling, dining out, watching my beloved Tottenham Hotspur through my fingers and attempting to play golf.
