Hi, I’m Danny Vanner, Founder of Equity Executive. I founded Equity Executive in 2016 and for a decade we have been working with high growth businesses and investors across the UK to hire key leadership positions and build effective leadership teams. Over the years we have been fortunate to work with many exceptional CEOs, Chairs and investors whose businesses we have helped to get to the next level, achieve significant growth and reach substantial exits.
I would like to think clients work with us for several reasons:
1. we truly understand the challenges that face ambitious, private capital backed businesses, financial, talent, scalability, leadership and market challenges.
2. we know the rare types of leaders our clients need to move the needle, leaders who are strategic, data driven, ambitious, results driven, adaptive, execution focused, team focused and investor aligned.
3. we know the rare types of leaders our clients need at different stages of the journey, leaders who can professionalise a business, leaders who can scale a business, leaders who can turnaround a business, leaders who can succeed the current leadership, leaders who can position a business for sale and manage an effective exit process.
4. we know how to help our clients identify and attract these rare types of leaders by utilising our proven search methodology honed over a decade. At the client engagement stage we truly get to know our client, their business, the role being hired and the type of candidate needed. At the market research stage we typically conduct 100+ hours of market and candidate research, thoroughly covering the market. At the candidate engagement stage we spend considerable time strategising on how position the role to prospective candidates to generate maximum interest and we give prospective candidates a level of insight into the business and role that truly engages them. At the candidate assessment stage we get a level of detail from prospective candidates to truly qualify whether they have the skills, experience and personal traits to excel in the role. We then provide the client with a shortlist of the best and most suitable individuals in the market, work closely with the client to run both a thorough and timely interview, feedback, offer and acceptance process and once the candidate is placed we keep in touch with the client and placed candidate periodically to ensure all parties are and remain happy.
Thanks for visiting us and across the rest of the site you can find out more about us, the leadership positions we recruit, our past work and how to get in touch.
