Connect Talent to Value

Quickly get the right talent in the key leadership roles to start bending the curve up and to the right.

Great financial leadership is hard to find – especially in a PE-backed environment facing time-to-value pressure. In any instance, a CFO gap can cause a serious gap in productivity – if not derail strategic goals altogether.

With roots in private equity, We understands what it takes to place transformational leaders – especially those who are temporary. We know interim leaders can make a lasting contribution to your organization.

You need the exact right fit: A CFO with the demonstrated experience to deliver value in a timely manner. You also need your financial function up-and-running while you take precious time to fill that critical CFO role.

We help both private equity-backed middle-market companies and enterprise clients source demonstrated transformational leaders – with proven ability to drive organizational growth and accelerate value creation.

At times, complex business challenges require distinct expertise and skills for effective resolution.

If such skillsets are unavailable within your organization, it’s prudent to enlist the help of a specialist. A seasoned interim executive can swiftly dive in, contribute significantly, and guide the organization. This creates a lasting, meaningful impact on your outcomes, even though their tenure may be temporary.

C-suite executives go beyond their titles; they inspire teams to attain business objectives, personify company values, and confidently handle any circumstances, no matter the complexity.

Undoubtedly, your organization’s success relies on the potency of your leadership team.

E78 Partners’ specialist executive recruiters are trusted by numerous top organizations to source senior-level executives across the full C-suite, including CEOs, CFOs, CCOs, COOs, and more. We deliver seasoned, high-caliber leaders capable of making an immediate impact and producing long-lasting benefits for your business.

Leveraging our extensive practice areas, we can also help assemble highly experienced professionals to support your new executive talent and build a robust team around them to accelerate time to value.

One of our portfolio companies needed a seasoned interim CFO while we conducted a search for a permanent hire. E78 Partners exceeded our expectations and provided us with a professional, hard-working, and thorough executive who did a tremendous job. Our entire investment team was very impressed with E78’s process.

Our core focus remains on building strong relationships and identifying the optimal fit between talent and opportunities, thus creating a positive impact on your organization’s performance and value.

We execute a repeatable, flexible process to assess gaps and fill them.

1. Discovery

Achieving talent to value is a matter of producing a strong match between the talents we assemble and the value your company is trying to create. To that end, we conduct a comprehensive discovery to first understand strategic priorities and objectives for the critical role(s) you need to fill.

2. Design & Execute

For each critical role on a CEO’s or private equity sponsor’s list, a distinct set of three to five pivotal outcomes is required to be achieved by the person in that role in order to fulfill the expected value.
Our approach commences with a clear focus on the end goal: the value derived from the role. Rather than assessing the “time to fill the role,” it is essential to gauge the expected value from the role and the actual value to be delivered by the individual occupying it.

3. Deliver Results

After attaining alignment with our clients, we utilize our extensive network of professionals and C-suite executives to bridge the gap and deliver the desired results.
