Client:
A global strategy consulting firm serving corporations, financial institutions, and enterprise brands across the U.S.
Challenge:
The firm needed a Managing Director who could own an integrated strategy practice spanning digital, social, and emerging AI-driven communications; a hybrid profile requiring 15-20+ years of experience across strategy consulting, digital product, or large agency backgrounds. While the internal talent team was strong, this search was a high priority that required dedicated, full-time focus and an existing specialist network to identify and evaluate senior, cross-disciplinary candidates at this level — something the firm did not have in-house at the time.
Our Approach:
Venture-6 sourced against trajectory rather than title — targeting professionals from strategy practices at major consultancies, tech consulting firms, and large agency networks who combined deep digital/AI fluency with a business development and client services mindset. Because the role was remote and the firm’s footprint was national, we drew from key talent markets including New York, Chicago, Boston, and San Francisco to build a pipeline that matched the scope of the role rather than limiting the search geographically.
Outcome:
Venture-6 delivered a strong, qualified pipeline within six weeks and completed the placement in approximately 10 weeks total — identifying senior, cross-disciplinary talent that doesn’t surface through conventional search methods.
