UNRIVALLED EXPERIENCE

The Lancer Group is a retained executive search and private equity recruitment firm providing advisory services to growth investors and their portfolio companies.

We are experts in delivering proven leaders for investors in software and tech-enabled service companies, because we understand the operational rigor and financial discipline needed for lead investor-backed companies in value creation.

“I have worked with dozens of premiere, name brand retained executive search firms throughout my career and been disappointed with many. The Lancer Group is truly a standout in this crowded space. They bring three important capabilities to their work. A commitment to truly understanding the job specification and the needs of their clients. A strong and broad research capability. A real commitment to satisfying clients and not stuffing a candidate to complete a search.”

Bob Sywolski, Former CEO of Blackbaud

“The team at Lancer was great. They had a deep understanding of the company and the role required by the CFO. They moved the process along quickly and efficiently.”

Charlie Dickson, Former Senior Operating Advisor, Hellman & Friedman

Mick Hellman, Founder & Managing Partner at HMI Capital
