Scale Up Collective - Growth & PE
We support the talent agenda through board builds and leadership hiring for early stage businesses, whether at seed round or later stage funding.
We combine global capability with functional and sector expertise to support our clients’ unique value creation journey, through people advisory, executive search, and leadership assessment.
As a collaborative cohort, we partner with mid-to-late-stage venture and growth equity portfolio companies on their steps-to-scale, to achieve traction, gain velocity and deliver a strong return on investment.
"The Scale Up Collective is our SWAT team for growth and PE clients. Earlier stage companies face particular challenges in their path to achieve scale, and our collective expertise predicts and responds to these by partnering with both founders and investors as they plot the course to profitability."
