We connect top industry advisors with leading investors to gain a competitive edge in deal processes
As Europe's largest executive search firm exclusively focused on private equity, we possess both an extensive network and a rigorous research process. This enables us to identify, access, and evaluate the most impactful deal advisors for you to partner with, whether you're considering a specific investment opportunity or exploring a broader sector theme.
Our understanding of and access to the market enables us to deliver our clients a unique service. For each deal, our team leverages our proprietary data-led research process to identify and curate the very best industry advisors. For our clients, this means access to high-impact experts who will give you a competitive advantage in deal negotiations.
DRAX Deal Advisor Sourcing
Our decades of experience in private equity investments has shown us that the most sought after deal opportunities are unusual, with only a handful of advisors with similar experience within similar organisations.
We consistently support investors to secure the best industry advisors, with the knowledge, experience and advice they need to gain a competitive edge.
How do we do it?
Identification
Our expertise is rooted in decades of executive search experience. We take the disciplined, rigorous, and highly sophisticated research methodology that has found us such comprehensive success in executive search, and apply it to our deal advisor sourcing, ensuring a foundation of excellence to our service.
Access
Our continuously expanding network is built through conducting hundreds of C-suite and Board-level searches each year for private equity investors and their portfolio companies. Many of the most effective advisors are already part of our ecosystem—as clients, candidates, or long-standing contacts—and we have the credibility and reach to engage those who are not.
Evaluation
What truly sets us apart is our ability to assess and identify the advisors who will deliver the highest impact. Using proprietary behavioral assessment tools designed specifically for private equity, we go beyond credentials to understand how leadership drives competitive advantage and peak performance—ensuring the right fit for every engagement.
