What Our Clients Say:
Portfolio Director, Guinness Asset Management
“Danny helped us with the recruitment of a CEO. 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 1st Years (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 CFO who we feel will add good value and this search was managed from start to finish in 2 months.”
CEO, Alva Intelligence (Grafton Capital)

CEO, Envitia (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.”
COO, Moshi (Accel and other VCs)
“Equity Executive helped us to source a high calibre, senior marketing executive. The candidate was a great fit and performed well. Working with Equity Executive on the hire was an enjoyable experience.”
