Bespoke Partners Launches Specialization in Executive Recruiting for Growth Equity Stage Software and SaaS Companies

February 07, 2024 at 10:00 AM EST

Bespoke Partners, the largest retained executive search and leadership advisory service firm for software companies, today announced an enhanced market specialization in executive recruiting for Growth Equity stage software and SaaS companies.

The initiative builds on Bespoke's market-leading success in recruiting C-suite leaders who drive capital-efficient growth and achieve the investment thesis for private equity firm sponsors.

Bespoke has placed more than 300 leaders in Growth Equity stage software and SaaS companies over the last decade. The firm gives clients visibility and curated access to the most comprehensive network of proven CEOs and senior leaders in finance, go-to-market, technology, and people and talent disciplines.

“Bespoke Partners has always been at the forefront of executive search in the software and SaaS sector,” said Eric Walczykowski, CEO of Bespoke Partners. “Our enhanced focus on Growth Equity stage companies is a natural extension of that expertise. We understand the critical importance of profitable and efficient growth in today’s challenging markets. We empower our clients by connecting them with leaders who deliver on that strategic need.”

In addition to building out high-impact executive teams, Bespoke has partnered with growth stage private equity firm clients to orchestrate efficient founder transitions that position their companies to scale.

Bespoke-placed leaders have transformed companies in every segment of the software and SaaS ecosystem, including cybersecurity, fintech, edtech, health tech, marketplaces and retail, AI/ML, adtech and martech, and many more segments.

“Our approach is tailored to meet the unique leadership challenges faced by Growth Equity firms, including readying leadership teams to elevate their companies to the next level,” said Adam Boone, Bespoke’s Chief Marketing Officer. “A ‘grow at all costs’ strategy is not a viable approach to value creation in this space. Our data-driven search process and market-best network give us unique insight and access to executives who can grow both the top and bottom lines and create lasting value for sponsors.”
