Head of New York Office & MD Investigations

We were hired by a rapidly expanding investigations consultancy who had aspirations to open a key office in the competitive NYC market.

The Challenge

Lawson Chase were hired by Prescient, a specialist investigations, cyber and intelligence consulting business, to help them identify and secure a leader within the industry who could open up and manage a New York office. Prescient sought to make a high-impact hire as the New York office was seen as a location of significant importance to their continued growth plans. Given our track record in delivering business critical searches within the Investigations, Intelligence and Disputes markets, we were a natural search-firm partner for this assignment.

The Solution

We cherry-picked a leading name within the investigations consulting sector who had an exceptional track record within a competitor business in the NY/East Coast marketplace. The candidate brought a blend of both senior private-sector experience and a significant public sector background within the U.S Department of Labor that meshed well with the existing company headcount and culture.
