Executive Placements In The Second Half Of 2021

Jan 21, 2022

ON Partners highlights private equity & growth executive placements for the second half of 2021

Named to the Hunt Scanlon Private Equity Recruiting Power 100 ranking of the most prominent executive search firms serving the sector, ON Partners brings deep experience in the space. With growth and PE firms deploying capital at record-setting rates, the need for key executives to lead these companies is vital. The sharp growth in market demand has made it exceptionally difficult to acquire top talent, and the companies that are successfully bringing on top-tier executives are those moving swiftly and decisively, often exceeding compensation expectations.

According to financial data and research company Pitchbook, “Through the first half of the year, PE firms have closed on 3,708 deals, worth a combined $456.6 billion—nearly two-thirds the deal value we recorded in all of 2020. Q2 2021 registered the second-highest deal activity in a decade after Q4 2020. While it may be too early to predict with certainty, deal-making and exits are easily on pace for a record-setting year, while fundraising is tracking close to 2019’s elevated levels.”

Notes ON partner Baillie Parker, “The current climate is unprecedented. There is so much acquisition activity despite the high valuations.”
