We contacted Cindy Casciani at EquityChair to help us find a Chairman for a business we had identified as an excellent investment opportunity. Cindy understood our requirements, in terms of sector knowledge and previous private equity Chairman experience but also in terms of the character and chemistry fit required. We were delighted that Clive Williams was introduced as he added a great deal of value to the deal process and has subsequently joined the board of Instant Offices as Chairman since the deal completed. We would have no hesitation in working with Cindy and EquityChair again.

 

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.

Thanks for your work on this Cindy – I don’t think had we had a blank sheet of paper, we could have written a CV for a more suitable candidate.

 

 

A high growth edtech business, BibliU is a first-of-its kind digital learning platform that brings online course materials to life, making information affordable and accessible for students of all backgrounds. BibliU works with more than 40% of universities in the United Kingdom and several in the United States with over 2,000 individual publishers to bring a complete catalogue of digital content to institutions.

We asked Cindy Casciani at EquityChair to work with us to recruit a new Chair for the next exciting phase in BibliU’s growth.

Cindy quickly understood both our requirements and those of our investors (using the EquityIQ to ensure alignment) and was able to deliver an excellent shortlist of highly relevant candidates in a timely manner. Cindy managed the process very efficiently resulting in the successful appointment of our new Chair.

I was introduced to Cindy Casciani at EquityChair as part of my networking to build my non executive portfolio. Over this time, Cindy has been in touch regularly with a number of interesting and relevant private equity backed deals, some of which were very early stage and did not progress to completion. However, Cindy was incredibly professional in her management of the process, giving me very regular status updates.

Earlier this year, she approached me on behalf of Lyceum Capital to discuss the Chairmanship of CuroCare, ahead of the deal completing. As Cindy and I had been in touch a number of times since our first meeting, she had a very good understanding of my skills and business interests. CuroCare is in a space that interests me and I could see instantly how my skills and experience would add value to the business and complement the management team. I am delighted to be Chairman of this great business.

I would strongly recommend Cindy Casciani and EquityChair. Her experience of working in private equity has enabled her to genuinely understand the requirements of both the investor and the management when recruiting a Chairman. Cindy also understands that the completion of a private equity transaction can take time and that it is of the utmost importance to keep the lines of communication open between the potential Chairman, the business and the investor throughout the process.

Cindy’s open and easy style also made it very enjoyable to work with her.

Thanks for your help on this Cindy - Pete will be a real addition to us as Chair at Big Issue Fund Management and brings a genuinely complementary skill set to us.

We asked Cindy Casciani of EquityChair to help source a Chair for a new deal we were working on.  We had a pretty specific brief and were delighted that Cindy was able to identify and attract an excellent candidate who has subsequently joined the board as Chair. 

Encompass is a fast-growing, international, founder-run business. It transforms KYC processes through intelligent process automation and AI. We asked EquityChair to work with us to recruit a Non-Executive Director who understood the international market in which we operate, that could also bring additional strategic input to the board as we continue to expand. Cindy Casciani understood our requirements well and delivered an excellent shortlist of qualified candidates, resulting in a successful board level appointment.

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.
