September 16th, 2020, Haddonfield, NJ – True Search, the fastest growing executive search firm and 7th largest by revenue in North America, continues to expand its reach with a new official practice dedicated to private equity (PE) firms and their portfolio companies.

True Search Partner Conor Leamy will serve as the PE practice lead in North America. To ensure continued global connectivity, Conor will also work closely with London-based Partner Cosmo Lush, who co-leads True’s International CEO/BOD practice.

The firm’s team brings deep experience as a trusted advisor and strategic search partner in placing both operating partners in PE firms, and executives and board members in portfolio companies that have driven material transformation, measurable EBITDA improvements, and successful exits through acquisitions and IPOs.
