Human Resources Business Partner
Global Alternative Investment Manager
“Broad Street has impressed us with their understanding of our needs and culture, commitment to diversity, and depth of relationships and proven track record in sourcing.
They have placed several key senior level professionals into our insurance asset management team. Broad Street maintained a strong diversity panel focus throughout the search. They placed an exceptional female into a senior level role in the team, and we have since engaged them for an additional search for a lead partner to run a new business mandate. In that search they have continued to present a very strong diverse panel.”
Managing Director
Private Wealth Manager
“We recently hired Broad Street Consulting to help us with a critical senior-level hire. When we first approached Broad Street we thought we were potentially looking for a needle in a haystack as the list of requirements was long and deep. Broad Street quickly put us at ease with their incredibly thorough process and vast network.
To say it was a pleasure working with Broad Street is an understatement; they exceeded our expectations in every regard. Communication was seamless and constant. They listened to our every desire and had a unique way of approaching and vetting candidates. Every candidate we interviewed had been thoroughly prepped on every aspect of the search and came prepared. We were able to see more highly qualified candidates than we ever would have imagined, and they held our hands through the challenging task of weighing the pros and cons of each while maintaining a seamless dialogue between ourselves and the candidate.
Ultimately, we hired someone we never would have found without Broad Street, in less time than expected, and the process was enjoyable, efficient, and productive.”
CIO
Annuity & Life Insurance Provider
“Our search was for a VP, Head of Asset Management reporting to me, with the potential to be considered a Deputy CIO at some time in the future. Milena and Margot helped define this new role, and were tasked with finding a candidate who would be able to work well with operating company constituents within the insurance company, as well as with investment leaders at our strategic investment partner in asset management (and at the time, our largest shareholder).
It was important to me and the organization that Milena and Margot find someone who had a high degree of intellectual acumen and investment ‘chops’ to maintain credibility with our strategic investment partner and investment colleagues, as well as have both the emotional intelligence and commercial acumen to work with a wide variety of constituents at the insurance company – including professionals in the Finance, Actuarial, Risk and Executive functions.
It was also very personally important to me that this search be intentional in finding a candidate who would bring a diverse and differentiated point of view to the investment decision making process. Our company needs to reflect the communities we serve today and in the future, and it was refreshing to find commonality with the Broad Street team on the importance of this criterion in the search process.
Broad Street put together a fantastic candidate list. They worked closely with me and our internal HR partners to ensure the process was well managed, including frequent update calls, candidate assessments, and juggling interviews with constituents at both our firm and our strategic investment partner. Theirs is a very ‘high touch’ approach to executive search, something that went a long way in how our process was eventually run.
We ended up with a short list of three strong women with varied, but relevant investment experience, and who represented a diverse slate of backgrounds and interests. The finalist – who has now been with us for a bit over a year – has distinguished herself by her ability to ‘get it done’ as well as build trust, and credibility with key internal and external constituents. Importantly, the finalist has integrated herself into an existing team seamlessly.
I highly recommend Milena and Margot at Broad Street, and would use them again. They brought a highly consultative, highly communicative approach to our search process, and helped us land on a finalist who has been incredibly additive to our organization.”
