Whenever a private equity firm invests in a technology company it’s usually with strategic transformation in mind.

At Neon River we specialize in leading executive search projects for private equity backed technology companies.

Key themes around private equity investments often include cloud transformation, acquisitions, entry into new markets or strategic change. Typically new leaders are needed to create and execute an effective strategy to grow the value of the company.

Testimonial

“

We recently partnered with Peter on a Chief Product Officer role within our software portfolio. Peter was always professional, well prepared, and knowledgeable on the market and the candidates he presented. He had clearly taken the time to assess each profile in detail against the brief and continued to present options right up until we had secured our preferred candidate. I have recommended Peter to our wider portfolio since, and I am sure we will work with him again in the future as one of the best recruiters on the market.

I’ve worked with many executive search firms as a client over the years, and I rate Neon River highly. Their knowledge of the software and technology industries, and the companies and people shaping them is impressive. What sets them apart is not only their deep sector expertise and high-quality, Partner-led delivery, but also their strong international network and reach, which enables them to access exceptional talent across global markets. They consistently deliver with professionalism, insight, and impact.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others looking for a trusted and capable executive search partner.
