Company Description
ECA Partners is an evidence-based, data-driven executive search and consultant staffing firm serving private equity sponsors, their portfolio companies, and high-growth businesses across North America. Founded in 2010 by Atta Tarki as Ex-Consultants Agency and headquartered in Santa Monica, California, the firm evolved from connecting clients with independent strategy talent to a full-service partner for permanent, interim, and on-demand leadership needs. ECA differentiates itself with a rigorous, metrics-led process managed in its proprietary software, CASCADE, giving clients real-time visibility into pipeline status, search KPIs, and structured candidate assessments. Searches are led by Senior Directors and run day to day by PhD Project Managers who conduct in-depth, research-driven interviews and coordinate a three-stage evaluation that blends analytical scoring with cultural and role fit checks. The model delivers outcomes measurably faster than traditional search: a 96% success rate, 98% retention, average executive placements in under 85 days, and interim or fractional executives in under seven days. ECAs offerings span retained executive search for permanent C-suite and senior leadership roles, interim executive solutions, and on-demand consultants for project-based workbacked by a three-part guarantee that ties fees to successful placement, ensures consistency of candidate flow, and provides replacement assurance. Sector expertise includes private equity, healthcare, business services, industrials and natural resources, consumer and retail, technology, and financial services, with functional coverage across CEO, COO, CFO/CAO/Controllers, FP&A and finance transformation, CSO and strategy, CTO and transformation leaders, IT, GTM and customer success, CHRO and talent leadership, sales and commercial excellence, portfolio operations, and M&A/corporate development. ECA maintains one of the industrys most robust databases with minimal non-solicits; first calibrated candidates arrive in about 2.5 weeks and 12 fully vetted leaders follow weekly through the search. Trusted by top-tier private equity firms such as American Securities, CD&R, Charlesbank, Sun Capital, Trive, Vista, ParkerGale, Prairie, Sentinel, Serent, and Summit Park, ECA has completed more than 4,000 successful searches for over 1,000 clients and continues to invest in its PhD Project Manager internship to scale its analytical edge and client service excellence.
