We've spent our careers inside private capital talent markets. Each of us owns a defined part of it, from fund-level search to portfolio leadership. So every recommendation comes with the full picture.

First Point Partners is a boutique executive search firm built around private capital. Each consultant owns a defined part of the market, from fund-level search to portfolio company executive search, talent intelligence and operations. Every mandate is led by senior people from calibration to placement.

What we stand for

Who We Are

We take the work seriously and remain accountable.

Clients need advisers who understand the business, stand behind their recommendations and care about the outcome after the appointment.

We choose to remain specialist, close to the investors and markets we serve, and directly involved in the decisions entrusted to us.

Investorperspective

We seek to understand the investment rationale, ownership context and commercial priorities behind each appointment. The role only makes sense when considered in relation to the business it is intended to support.

Independentjudgement

Our responsibility is not to agree with every assumption. It is to provide an informed perspective, challenge a brief when necessary and communicate clearly about the options and risks.

Depthovervolume

We would rather give a client a short, well-supported recommendation than a long list without a clear view.

Personalaccountability

We take ownership of our work. Senior professionals remain involved, decisions are supported by evidence and clients know who is responsible for delivering the mandate.

Discretionandtrust

We operate in markets where relationships and reputations matter. Confidentiality, professional judgement and respect for all parties are fundamental to how we work.
