The human capital management industry has been growing steadily since the last economic downturn. Mind Commerce, a research and strategic analysis firm, estimates that the HCM software industry will recognize $8.4 billion SaaS revenue by 2020.
Founded as Boston Search Group in 1997 and rebranded in 2008, BSG Team Ventures is an executive search firm focused on identifying senior level leaders. Although BSG serves a wide range of clients including public corporations and not-for-profit organizations, the greatest concentration of BSG’s work is with private equity firms and their portfolio companies to expand or upgrade management, and with venture capital firms and entrepreneurs to build teams for early stage businesses.
BSG, which has offices in Boston, San Francisco, and London, recently placed William Fletcher as CFO for Precise Packaging, a leading manufacturer of complex pressurized spray products. The firm is currently leading CFO searches for Quad Partners as well as Johnny Rockets.
