Bespoke Partners Opens New Office in Boston
July 28, 2026 – Bespoke Partners has opened a new office in Boston to accommodate the firm’s growing local team and strengthen its presence in a key market for private equity firms and their portfolio companies. The new office in Boston places Bespoke in proximity to leading software and SaaS clients in healthcare tech, cybersecurity, FinTech, MarTech and Adtech, GovTech and many more sectors.
“Boston has always been an important market for Bespoke, and the growth of our team there reflects the momentum we’ve built with executive search clients across the region,” said Eric Walczykowski, CEO of Bespoke Partners. “Expanding our office is an investment in our people and our ability to continue delivering the high-touch, specialized service our clients expect.”
The Boston office will also support Industra Talent Partners, the Bespoke affiliate serving PE-backed portfolio companies in manufacturing, distribution and business services in aerospace & defense, automotive, chemical & specialty materials, food & beverages, energy & utilities and many more industrial sectors.
In addition to its new Boston office, Bespoke has offices in New York City, San Diego, Philadelphia and San Francisco. The firm moved its headquarters to Austin, TX, earlier this year.
Bespoke Partners is an executive search and leadership advisory firm dedicated to partnering with top private equity firms, including Francisco Partners, Clearlake Capital, WCAS, Insight Partners, GI Partners, General Atlantic, CVC Capital Partners, and TA Associates, among many others, to recruit software talent and assess and evaluate teams at every stage of the investment lifecycle, from growth equity to buyout.

The firm’s expanding leadership advisory platform includes organizational due diligence as well as executive assessment and coaching. Successful searches include CEOs, CFOs, CROs, CMOs, CPOs, CTOs, CIOs, CHROs, board members, operating partners, vice presidents and many more.

Industra Talent Partners
“Industrial companies are perfect candidates for private equity to produce outsized returns. But portfolio company leadership is the critical factor in executing on value creation plans,” said Mr. Walczykowski. “Before Industra, sponsors had to rely on generalist firms with no real understanding of how to recognize and recruit those leaders for industrial companies. Today that all changes with Industra, the sector’s first search practice optimized for faster searches with better outcomes for private equity.”
“Industrials is one of the largest and most essential segments of the global economy, yet private equity sponsors are facing a leadership gap,” said Jared Moriarty, partner and Industra Talent Partners lead. “Industra solves these challenges by combining deep private equity expertise with an AI-augmented, tech-enabled search process. Our clients gain unmatched talent insights and access to leaders who deliver sustained value creation.”
Industra partners with private equity sponsors and portfolio company leadership teams to recruit CEOs, presidents, CFOs, COOs, CROs/CCOs, CHROs/CPOs, CMOs, CTOs, CIOs, and other EVP/SVP/VP functional leaders aligned to value creation plans and operating realities.
