Take it to one secondaries seat
A conversation about one secondaries seat is worth more than a conversation about the market around it.
If you are building a team, the most useful opening is the seat itself and what the last person in it got wrong. If you are someone these firms ask about, an exploratory conversation is worth having early and it stays private. We reply quickly. Approach sets out how the work is structured, and Contact is the fastest way to start.
All engagements are contracted and invoiced by Rand Thompson Consultants, LLC. Evrata opens the conversation and makes the introduction, and Rand Thompson runs the search.
