Our firm’s methodology to leverage our unique AI technology/process to drive out risk/ambiguity on critical external hires at the board, C suite, and Vice President level
We are working heavily in the PE, VC, GE, and impact investing space. Our search work occurs both at the portfolio company level as well as within the firms (investment professional hires – Partners to generate deal flow).

I am the majority shareholder and the Founder and CEO. I have 20 years of global executive search experience, previously I was the Managing Partner and global revenue leader with Odgers Berndtson and a prior partner at The Bedford Group.
What is Fortuity excited about (in the immediate horizon and in the long term)?
Fortuity is disrupting the industry with powerful AI technology which is changing the game. We are the only firm in the market capable of “predicting” the outcome of a hire in critical areas such as drive, emotional intelligence, leadership, values, and diversity of thought.
