Expert executive search for technology and games companies
Trusted by leadership teams across technology and games
We support investors, founders, and senior operators in building leadership teams that shape growth, transformation, and long-term performance.
At Miniclip, we’ve worked with Peter and Neon River on several critical leadership hires over the years and have consistently had an outstanding experience. I would recommend Neon River as one of the very best executive search firms in the market.
Peter supported us on a Chief Product Officer search within our software portfolio and demonstrated exceptional preparation, market knowledge, and candidate evaluation. We have recommended him across our portfolio and see Neon River as one of the strongest executive search partners in the market.
Neon River has become our go-to partner for critical leadership hires. They have helped us secure our CFO/COO, CMO, and Design Director, consistently presenting exceptional candidates and making each search process highly effective and enjoyable.
Neon River combines deep software and technology sector expertise with true partner-led delivery and a genuinely international network. They consistently bring insight, professionalism, and access to exceptional leadership talent.
A precise approach to leadership hiring
Senior appointments succeed when the mandate is clear, the market is mapped properly, and delivery stays Partner-led from first brief to final close.
Critical hires benefit from accountability. We keep ownership with the Partner, supported by expert research, to maintain pace and quality.
We specialise in software, platforms, digital products, and games. That focus sharpens judgment on what “good” looks like at each stage of growth.
We start from the archetype, then map the market across adjacent sectors. It is a rifleshot approach designed to surface the best operators, fast.
