Screening
Pressure-test the thesis and sort real opportunities from noise before you commit resources.
Senior Executives
Engage a seasoned operator, dedicated to your team.
Work with a senior executive as a dedicated advisor for the length of the engagement, someone who has operated at the top of your target industry and works to your agenda. On deal-driven mandates, you can retain them exclusively on your target.
Dedicated advisory
A seasoned operator, dedicated to your team.
Some decisions are too important to rest on a single conversation. You get one operator who brings the first-hand judgment of having run a business at the top of your target industry, and applies it directly to the questions in front of your team.
Dedicated to your agenda with one advisor working to your priorities, and no shared agenda. Where the work is deal-driven, you can retain them exclusively on your target.
Operator experience that brings first-hand judgment from running the business, not second-hand commentary from the sidelines.
Aligned to your deal and matched to your sector and context, from screening through diligence and beyond.
How it works
Matched to the mandate, retained for the engagement.
We custom-source the operator whose experience fits your thesis, then place them alongside your team for as long as the work demands, forming a partnership, not an introduction.
-
Custom-sourced to your thesis
We find the specific operator whose background maps to your target, market and the questions that decide the deal.
-
Retained, not transactional
A longer-term advisory relationship you can return to as the work evolves over days or weeks, not a single 60-minute call.
-
Embedded in your team
Your advisor works to your workflow and cadence, briefed on context so their time goes straight to judgment.
Across the deal
Judgment where the decision is made.
A dedicated operator adds most where the stakes are highest, across screening, diligence and the work after close.
Diligence
Interrogate the model, the market and the management team with someone who has sat in their seat.
Beyond close
Carry operator judgment into value creation, on pricing, growth and the levers that decide returns.
Why it is different
A partner, not a panel.
Expert networks give you breadth: many voices, briefly. Senior Executives gives you depth: one seasoned operator who stays with the decision.
Depth over volume
Sustained judgment from a single trusted advisor, instead of a series of disconnected calls.
Accountable to your outcome
Because your advisor is retained and invested in the decision, their judgment is on the line with yours.
The AlphaSights standard
Sourced, vetted and supported by the same team and compliance framework behind every engagement.
