Are you weary of the cost of regulatory oversight, emergence of non-regulated tech companies moving first in digital banking, fear of not having the AI systems scanning your data to provide advice, detect fraud or offer solutions, all the while worrying your top leaders and relationship builders are being recruited by your competition? If so, welcome to the stress of today’s financial services industry.Doherty Search Partners was started with the simple idea that those who hire and those being hired should mutually commit to achieving goals together. So I took a radical step:After spending years recruiting at all levels we took the time to meet with over 100 people we introduced to the next step on their career journey. It is as true in 2022 as it was when we started, when leaders clearly communicate how hiring impacts the success or failure of the business to achieve its vision and goals returned the highest value on the investment in search services.So, let me ask you this…if we develop a way to introduce you to leaders with the passion and talent to achieve your goals? Would that save you time and assuage your fear of hiring someone that will eventually get you fired?As you manage your career, wouldn’t it be nice to be prepared to create or evaluate only opportunities that you value on your career journey? Whether it is a Board Seat, Executive Leadership, Business Venture, or Representing a company with great values and market potential? My track record speaks for itself.• Introduced a team and continue to build an international middle market Innovation Banking Team that since its inception in 2020 has booked over $500 million in new commitments and accounting for 75% of the company’s new net income.• I’ve lived the stress by serving as an Interim COO of a $45 million entertainment company pushing through internal resistance to a new customer experience.• Completed executive searches for CEO’s, CIO’s, CISO’s, Chief Product Officers and others that are often performing years after the hire. • Strategic projects to recruit commercial lenders for community banks, secured finance, non-banks capital market, turnaround management, FP&A, Software Engineers, PMO Office Leaders and today more AI & Machine Learning professionals.• Networked with top partners for new boutique investment banks and private equity firms.• Board Searches for Children Non-Profits and community banks.If you’re an innovative leader looking for focused professionals or preparing to take the next step, then send me a note at vcd@dohertysearchpartners.com
