Trends toward convergence, consolidation and globalization have redefined the entire financial services industry. The Financial Executive Search Services Practice has completed thousands of assignments, providing comprehensive executive search and leadership consulting counsel to top-tier financial companies around the world. The majority of our partners have worked directly in the industry and understand that today’s most successful financial industry executives possess not only comprehensive technical competencies, but are also adept at thinking creatively in an industry that has been in turmoil and crisis.

 

The private equity sector is experiencing unprecedented fund inflows and investment activity. Given our long-standing focus in this area, Reed & Sterling is uniquely equipped to help firms address the growing related demands. At the portfolio level, C-suite and board positions across all industries are in high demand. For these highly regionalized businesses, we can draw upon our deep local and sector expertise across practices (Consumer, Health Care, Financial Services, Technology, Industrial) — all aligned with their PE counterparts.

​

These industry dynamics are ideally aligned with Reed & Sterlings model. Our sector breadth and deep expertise enable us to provide distinctive sponsor coverage. Despite significant financial incentives tying talent to existing shops, the rapid expansion of portfolios has fueled an enticing market for young top performers. This places the onus on PE executive teams to manage their talent proactively and systematically, including leadership succession. This is another area in which Reed & Sterling excels, honed through extensive experience across financial services verticals.

​

We welcome the opportunity to help private equity management teams experience true local partnership through Reed & Sterling’s deep expertise and integrated service approach.
