Hillmont Group

Hillmont Group was founded in 2021 by Brett Buttacavoli and specialises in executive search for mid-market companies managing transformation initiatives, first-of-their-kind roles, and emerging technology deployments. The firm places leaders at Director through Senior Vice President levels, requiring proven expertise in navigating complex organisational change and innovation. Hillmont partners with companies facing technology modernisation and emerging challenges including artificial intelligence, intelligent automation, data analytics and enterprise transformation.

Brett Buttacavoli brings nearly two decades of recruitment experience, including fifteen years leading a global financial services recruiting practice focused on automation technologies during their early enterprise adoption phase. He has worked with Bank of America, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, and other global institutions. Hillmont combines disciplined, data-driven search methodology with market intelligence, defining success criteria upfront and moving quickly to identify leaders who combine technical expertise with cultural alignment.

The company reports a 98% search completion rate and 92% retention rate at two years. Hillmont provides strategic insights alongside candidate placement, including compensation benchmarking, team structure analysis, and technology adoption trends across client industries. The firm operates a boutique, partner-led model where Brett personally leads every search rather than delegating to junior staff.
