H.I. Executive Consulting Partners with Software Club

September 27, 2024 – Global search firm H.I. Executive Consulting (H.I.E.C) has formed a strategic alliance with Software Club (SWC), a fundamental business value research platform focused exclusively on the analysis of public and privately owned software and technology companies for private equity funds and professional investors. “This partnership is an opportunity for H.I.E.C’s network of world-class chairs, chief executives, private equity funds and family offices to benefit from access to Software Club’s analysis and insights, the extensive and close knit community Software Club has generated and the robust and often proprietary data and market insight brought together on a daily basis,” the search firm said.

Software Club was established to forge an advanced, qualitative and quantitative methodology for insight gathering into the top European and U.S. software and technology companies to invest in, learn from and connect with. “Helping private equity funds form precise origination strategies, valuation metrics and creating an invaluable network around specific subsectors or themes,” H.I.E.C said.

H.I.E.C is already supporting the SWC community of global leaders and private equity funds by bringing an overlay of global leadership insight, talent and organizational advisory services, market access and connectivity to those building and leading top software, technology and data businesses across an array of subsectors and scales.

“Where Software Club brings unparalleled depth of specialist company data and insight, H.I.E.C brings the equivalent in talent, leadership and global network across private equity and listed technology and software businesses,” H.I.E.C said. “The partnership between H.I.E.C and Software Club marks a significant milestone and allows both businesses to bring new levels of support to our clients and board and executive communities, with informed decision making tools and a platform through which to build trusted connections.”

H.I. Executive Consulting is a global transformational executive search firm founded in 2007, focused on hiring transformational board, CEO, and senior-level executives globally for digital focused clients. The firm operates across 13 offices in North America, Europe, Middle East, and Asia-Pacific.

Executive Consulting expanded with the addition of Lee Brantingham as a partner based in Hong Kong. “Lee brings invaluable expertise to both the technology & software and private equity practice groups, enhancing the firm’s presence across the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region,” the search firm said. “We are excited to have Lee join our team at H.I.E.C, especially given his impressive track record in the technology and private equity sectors in Asia,” said Tim Chamberlain, managing partner and global co-leader, software & technology practice, H.I.E.C. “His deep understanding of the regional market dynamics and his ability to attract high-caliber leadership talent are invaluable to our firm.”
