Working with Cindy, and Equity Chair, has been one of the most simple, enjoyable and productive experiences we've had with an outside consultant. On first meeting Cindy she was able to quickly understand our business and she instantly had talented people interested and available to meet with us. Through Cindy we have met some incredibly impressive people. Cindy found us a fantastic non-executive Director and we believe that this new hire will lead to substantial growth for Ruroc.

I work in recruitment so I know how poor some recruiters can be, Equity Chair delivered exactly the service they said they would, on time and with professionalism.  I really would recommend them.

We were seeking a non-exec chairman for an existing portfolio company. Cindy made a number of high quality introductions that were "on brief" from which we are delighted to have made an appointment. The whole process was straightforward, efficient and effective.

 

BSC and SI2 commissioned EquityChair in early 2020 for a difficult assignment: recruiting a Non-Executive Director to jointly represent them on the Board of Spacehive, the leading community crowdfunding platform in the UK.

The challenge arose from the rare combination of experience and skills that was desired, along with the need for this NED to work productively with both investors and the management of Spacehive.  It was important to find someone with extensive venture experience, as well as a deep understanding of community organisations and the public sector.  Strong communication skills also were essential given the numerous stakeholders around this particular NED role. 

Cindy Casciani at EquityChair understood these requirements very well and led an extensive search that surfaced several strong candidates. We were delighted and ultimately appointed a candidate who met all the criteria.

We were introduced to Cindy Casciani at EquityChair by one of our investors, ETF to work with us to find a Chairman to join the board of Voltea. We are a VC backed technology business providing award winning technology that desalinates brackish water at a lower economic and environmental cost than any other available technology.

As an international business (headquartered in The Netherlands) but selling globally, we were looking for someone who had real experience of truly global businesses. Cindy and EquityChair did a very thorough and professional job of covering the market across the US and Europe. She was able to deliver a very strong shortlist and a very difficult choice for us. We would definitely recommend Cindy and EquityChair as an excellent recruitment partner.

Lyceum Capital works with Equity Chair on a regular basis. Most recently on Curocare, we engaged with them at an early stage in our review of the market for potential Chairman, Cindy identified and introduced us to a number of interesting candidates and led to an efficient appointment as the deal closed. We shall certainly use Equity Chair on future opportunities.

Cindy helped us make two appointments to our board, having identified a top-notch selection of high quality candidates. She combined an excellent understanding of our requirements with clear communication throughout, which helped us achieve a successful outcome. I would highly recommend EquityChair to other organisations in our field – and we won’t hesitate to work together on future searches.

Cindy at EquityChair really went above and beyond when I needed to hire additional resource into the exciting tech company where I am Chairman.

She not only supplied a great candidate for the role, she also ensured that there was smooth process around his hire, and offered excellent advice and counsel on a number of associated discussion points.

Having worked with Cindy over many years when we were both at different organisations I was well aware of the quality of her work and so when we were looking for a new Advisory Board Member she was the obvious choice. It was a difficult assignment as we had a very specific requirement in mind and the target pool is small and specialised.  Cindy very quickly grasped the nature of our requirements and importantly the particular skill set we were seeking. In few days she produced a short list and we very quickly zeroed in on our preferred candidate.  Cindy’s capacity to identify and engage with high quality candidates was outstanding and we have been delighted, but not surprised by the outcome. We would have no hesitation in recommending her and her team.
