The Wilton

The Wilton Group is an executive search firm founded in 2003 serving the financial services industry. Based in New Canaan, Connecticut, the firm specialises in high-level placements within private banking, wealth management, asset management, legal, compliance, and fintech sectors. The team comprises professionals with deep careers at leading global financial institutions before transitioning to executive search, giving them unique insight into both candidate and client perspectives.

The firm applies a high-quality, low-volume approach to search business, with team members sourcing candidates through personal networks and referrals rather than databases. The Wilton Group runs a limited number of concurrent searches, allowing for exceptional service levels. The company specialises in placements requiring discretion and deep market knowledge, including C-suite, general counsel, chief compliance officer roles, and senior attorney positions across private banking, alternatives, hedge funds, private equity, and venture capital.

With over two decades of service, The Wilton Group has developed particular expertise in Latin American markets and serves some of the world's largest financial institutions alongside smaller private wealth management firms and family offices. The firm comprises experienced partners including Joshua Crandall (founder), Kristen Doran (senior consultant), and Faith Demko (head of asset and wealth management search). The company has completed over 500 searches.
