A global communications consultancy was launching a new practice focused on Financial Services and needed someone who could lead it with confidence and credibility. The challenge was to find a capital markets expert who could shift into an advisory role and connect easily with board-level clients.
McLean was asked to find someone with deep knowledge of capital markets, strong relationship-building skills and the ability to win and deliver complex advisory mandates. Candidates needed to be comfortable transitioning from research or investment roles into a consultative setting.
We focused our search across equity research, investment banking and asset management. The chosen candidate had the commercial maturity and insight the firm was looking for. They hit the ground running and were instrumental in securing early client wins, helping to build out the practice ahead of expectations.
