Company Description
Marlin is a retained executive search firm built by operators, not career recruiters, focused on helping private equity and venture-backed firms and high-growth companies make VP-to-C-suite hires that materially move the needle. Senior-led from first brief to signed offer, the firm runs a deliberately low-volume, high-touch model that embeds with executive leadership to understand why a role exists, the outcomes it must deliver, and the growth, turnaround, or transition it is meant to unlock. Rather than trawling public databases, Marlin activates a private, off‑market network earned over a decade of one‑to‑one work with more than 2,500 senior leaders, giving clients precision access to operators who can build, fix, or exit under limited runways and high expectations. Typical mandates span CFO, COO, CEO, Presidents and Division Leaders, GTM/Revenue leaders, Chief People Officers, CMOs, Heads of Product, VP Engineering, General Managers, and Chiefs of Staff, including confidential upgrades, succession planning, and post‑investment leadership builds across portfolio companies. The search process is outcomes‑driven, strategy‑aligned, and executed only by senior partners—no junior handoffs and no keyword matching—so first outreach begins on day one and shortlists arrive quickly without sacrificing rigor or cultural fit. Beyond placement, Marlin helps leadership hires land with impact through post‑placement PR, thought leadership, and positioning—delivered with its sister company, Elo Branding—to accelerate visibility, trust, and enterprise value. Transparent retained fees (30–35% of first‑year compensation split across kickoff, shortlist, and placement), a stick guarantee, and a commitment to confidentiality reflect a partnership mindset over transactions. Trusted by leaders from brands such as Cisco, EY, Duke Health, GE, Raytheon, and New Balance, Marlin works across industries with investment teams, operating partners, and portfolio CEOs who need a search partner that understands business strategy as deeply as talent. For companies at inflection points, Marlin turns executive hiring into leverage—delivering precision, speed, and senior‑level access that shape outcomes and accelerate value creation.
