Our Approach

1. Brief definition

Every mandate begins with a clear definition of the role and operating context. We work closely with investors and portfolio leadership teams to understand the objectives of the hire, the stage of the portfolio company and the capability required for success.

This often includes financial control requirements, reporting expectations, investor interaction and the maturity of the finance function.

Employer Branding

For portfolio companies competing for highly sought after engineers, product leaders and data specialists, employer positioning and leadership narrative can play a significant role in attracting the right candidates.

Reign also supports portfolio companies with employer branding to strengthen how leadership opportunities are presented to the market.
