March Consultants

March Consultants is a specialist executive search firm operating exclusively within private markets, partnering with investment funds and their portfolio companies to secure exceptional senior leadership talent. The firm operates on three core principles, Diagnose, Partner and Deliver, which shape every search engagement. Rather than moving quickly, March Consultants prioritises understanding the business thoroughly before identifying candidates, ensuring that leadership hires are matched not only to role requirements but also to organisational culture, pace and the specific moment in a company's lifecycle. The team stays involved throughout the entire process and remains accountable for outcomes rather than introductions, with particular focus on integration support during the critical first 90 days following a hire.

March Consultants operates four specialist practices across private markets. The Investment and IR practice, led by Charles Peck and Amanda Levin, focuses on Investment Directors, IR Directors, Heads of Capital Formation and Capital Markets specialists. The Corporate Functions practice, led by Mark Maynard and Amanda Levin, recruits CFOs, Heads of Tax, General Counsel and Heads of Compliance. The Tech and HR practice, led by Alex Ford, specialises in Chief People Officers, Heads of HR, CTOs and Chief Data Officers. The Portfolio Hiring practice, led by Mark Maynard and Alex Ford, recruits Portfolio CEOs, CFOs, COOs and Chief Strategy Officers. This specialised approach ensures deep market knowledge and rigorous candidate assessment across all levels of private market organisations.

March Consultants is headquartered in London and serves leading private market firms internationally, with experience spanning investment teams, corporate functions, portfolio leadership and talent strategy. The firm has been recognised as PE Wire Executive Search Firm of the Year in 2026 and operates a selective client model that enables broader market access for its clients. Most work comes through long-term relationships and repeat mandates, with clients returning because of the firm's deep business knowledge, honest communication and continued involvement during complex or sensitive searches. The experienced team, with over 20 years average tenure, is personally involved end-to-end on every mandate with no handoffs or junior involvement, delivering trusted advisory rather than transactional recruitment.
