Erevena Opens First U.S. Office
March 10, 2016 – London-based executive search firm Erevena has opened its first U.S. office, establishing a new location in San Francisco. The office is being led by partner Terry Shaw and principal consultant Max Levy, who relocates from London. Further additions the office are expected in coming months.
Mr. Shaw has led C-suite and strategic go-to-market searches for enterprise software and digital clients in EMEA, the Americas, and Asia Pacific. He specializes in working with hyper-growth VC-backed businesses such as Zendesk, Yammer, Huddle, RhodeCode, Ebury, Socialbakers and Stack Exchange. He previously served as a consultant at Propel Executive, an executive search division within Propel London.
“We are delighted to formalize our presence in San Francisco,” said CEO Dan Hyde. “Last year we did over 30 percent of our work in North America, and our clients and their investors have been asking us for some time to establish a local presence.” He said the firm will invest heavily to make San Francisco an important location for Erevena, in order to meet the rising demand the firm is experiencing.
“We have global practices across technology verticals, so have always had a foot here, but it’s fair to say that it has accelerated massively of late which is why we’re here,” said Mr. Hyde.
