Unlocking Leadership Potential. Powering Organisational Growth.

Vantyr Group is a specialist executive search and leadership development firm working exclusively on senior technology appointments — CTO, CIO, Chief Product, Chief AI Officer, CISO, Chief Data Officer, and Head of Engineering — for technology businesses and technology-enabled organisations. 

​

​​The problem we solve:

​

40% of new executives fail within 18 months, costing organisations up to 10x the executive's salary in recruitment fees and lost opportunity. The failure point isn't the search, it's what happens after the hire. We've built a model that addresses both: Executive search combined with rigorous leadership assessment and executive coaching structured around the first 180 days. These aren't pricey disconnected services, these are connected and embedded into every project we run.

​

Who we work with:

​

Our clients typically come to us when leadership hiring has strategic consequences:

​

Private equity firms placing executives across portfolio companies - a new CEO to professionalise operations ahead of exit, a CTO to modernise infrastructure that's become a value-creation constraint.

​

Family offices backing founder-led businesses through transition - adding technology strategy and delivery leadership for the first time, or upgrading the existing team when growth has outpaced capability.

​

Mid-market boards navigating transformation - when strategy is clear but execution is stalling, and everyone knows the leadership team needs upgrading but can't afford a failed placement.

​

How we work:

​

Our engagements are structured to reduce leadership appointment risk, with clear milestones across executive search, assessment, and leadership integration. ​​Every engagement includes:

​

• Executive search 

• Evidence-based leadership assessment

• Six months of executive integration coaching structured around the first 90 and 180-day milestones

We price engagements as a fixed fee rather than as a percentage of compensation. This creates better incentives - we're optimising for the right hire and successful integration, not the highest salary. For clients making multiple appointments across a portfolio or building out technology leadership teams, the economics are straightforward: you get the quality of work you'd expect from a top-tier firm, with integration support included, at roughly half the total investment.
