Operandi Talents

Our savoir faire

Executive search & Talent advisory unleash your business’
full-potential

We deliver, for corporates and PE funds (large, mid, small cap and family-offices), both critical internal long-term talents via executive search mandates & high-caliber independent consultants/interim professionals for impactful external leverage, to drive long-lasting business success.

We work with a curated network of leadership talents with strong track records in PE funds, success in PE-backed companies and high-growth corporates, and/or strong operational and sector/function expertise. Most of our candidates have strong analytical backgrounds from early careers in strategy consulting, investment banking, M&A, PE and/or audit.

Our team delivers your key hires across France, Benelux, and Europe via three services: executive search mandates, interim management (6-24 months), and independent consulting projects (less than 6 months) which can also be combined with Operandi.Strategy.

Track record of critical hires

Business partner from strategy to execution,
pre-deal to exit

Three key roles to deliver your Value Creation Plan

  1. CEOs, GMs BU/country – P&L owners
  2. CFOs (and finance function)
  3. CEO’s “#2” (CTO/COO, Strategy & M&A, PMI, PMO, etc.) depending on the equity story

Two engagement models tailored to your urgency level

  1. Executive search
  2. Interim management support (project-based: NED to full-time)

One approach to drive your portfolio growth, transformation, and value creation journey

Highly consultative, partner-led boutique operating a deliberately selective model – we take a limited number of mandates, each as strategic for us as it is for you, all directly led by a partner with an emphasis on:

  • Upfront alignment between CEO’s and co-investors (role structuring, scope definition, expectations)
  • The closing process (candidate commitment, co-investment, ManPack alignment, etc.).
