Leon Keller, Chief Financial Officer – Node4

"Working with Mallory Partners was a really good experience. They took the time to understand the specific attributes we were looking for and the particular dynamics of our business. Ours is a very entrepreneurial environment, led by our founder and a close knit management team so it is really important that the chemistry is right when anyone new joins the team.

We don’t traditionally use head hunters, because you don’t often find firms that specialise in mid-market private equity recruitment in our space and so understand the particular needs that businesses like ours have. We needed someone who was willing to roll up their sleeves and get involved, but also had the leadership potential to help the business to grow. The person they identified was a perfect fit against our specifications and business needs – and the chemistry was spot on."
