First Point
Partners
Each member of our team brings international experience from financial institutions, renowned global advisory firms and fast-growing technology businesses.
We understand the pace and urgency of financial sponsors, as well as the professional language, commercial discipline and data-driven approach required in this market.
Our Story
We started with a strong focus on Central and Eastern Europe: a fragmented, relationship-led and fast-developing market where the right investment and leadership talent is not always visible through obvious channels. As our clients expanded, so did the scope of our work. Today, we support private capital funds and portfolio companies across CEE, Europe and selected international markets.
Our base in Warsaw is strategic choice. It places us at the centre of one of Europe’s most active and attractive investment regions, where local companies are scaling, international funds are deploying capital and senior talent increasingly operates across borders.
Our recent expansion into Abu Dhabi reflects the next stage of that bridge: connecting Middle Eastern capital with European talent, operators and deal ecosystems.
FPP was built for that intersection.
What We Observed
Many are not actively looking. Some are not obvious from their title. A good search partner needs to know where to look, how to read the signal behind a profile and when a move would make sense for both sides. That observation still shapes our work.
That observation still shapes our work.
How it Shapes Our Work
We work closely with clients without unnecessary process or complexity, delivering better market insight, better-calibrated candidates and recommendations they can act on.
Long-term relationships, market knowledge, proprietary intelligence and our in-house search technology strengthen every search. Our technology helps us map markets, structure data, compare talent pools and build proprietary intelligence across mandates.
But technology does not replace our judgement.
In executive search, the final signal is still human. Understanding motivation, timing, leadership style, cultural fit, trust and the real conditions under which a candidate would move remains the part of our work that matters most. Technology improves the evidence. Our consultants make the judgement.
What Has Not Changed
We do not treat search as a transactional recruitment process. We work where hiring decisions have strategic weight: building investment teams, appointing portfolio-company leaders, strengthening finance and operations, supporting M&A-driven growth and helping clients convert an investment thesis into operating performance.
The best outcomes come from understanding both sides of the market: what the client is building and what would make a strong candidate move.
