One asset class. One buyer. One standard. Retained C-suite search, exclusively for private equity sponsors and their portfolio companies.
Full placement history shared with every prospective client before you sign anything.
Sponsors know this. They have been burned. The pain points are consistent across every fund we have ever talked to.
Falcon was built specifically to fix each of these.
Inspired by the Peregrine Falcon's 240 mph attack. Built for PE velocity.
We read the CIM, the board deck, and the management presentation before we target a single candidate. We know the investment thesis, the value creation plan, and the culture before the sourcing engine turns on.
Four-stage calibration before sourcing begins. Ideal profile scorecard. Sample profiles. Contrarian profiles. Explicit trade-off analysis. No surprises two weeks in.
99% of CFO slates and 80+% of all other slates populated by LBO veterans. We map every relevant mid-market transaction before sourcing begins.
Up to 10 outreach attempts per target until engagement. Our placements respond on the fourth attempt on average. We do not give up.
Investment-grade write-ups on every submitted candidate: career arc, organic and inorganic growth, EBITDA outcomes, TEV improvement, and the specific levers each executive pulled.
Full process driven with transparency, speed, and advisory support from day one through close. 98 average days to placement.

The structural differences between Falcon and every other firm — laid side by side.
Two proprietary assets sit at the center of every Falcon search. They compound the advantage on every mandate.
PE-CXO is a curated community of 50,000+ private equity-backed executives. When Falcon targets a candidate, they are often already a member. Your next CFO or CEO is very likely already in our network.
The Crucible is a configurable behavioral assessment built for PE-backed environments. It produces a Private Equity Quotient (PEQ) score for each assessed candidate: independent validation of the hire before you make it.
