What we believe
Technology is no longer just an enabler of business strategy. It is the business strategy. And with AI reshaping how companies operate, compete and grow — while rapidly accelerating the pace of change — the stakes have never been higher.
Our role
We’re focused on helping private equity investors and portfolio company leaders drive value creation through technology. In a world where investors deploy trillions annually into software and tech-enabled businesses, we're the team that makes sure the underlying technology actually delivers.
Our approach
The expert judgment of our experienced practitioners is complemented by proven frameworks, tech-enabled solutions, and objective data to help organizations navigate critical technology decisions across diligence, transformation, growth, cybersecurity, AI, and operational execution.
What we value
Everything we do is grounded in five core values: Service. Curiosity. Credibility. Commitment. Creativity.
If you're energized by solving complex technology challenges and helping others succeed in critical moments, you'll fit right in.
Job Role
This Role is a unique opportunity to join a fast-growing firm at an inflection point and help shape the future of Crosslake in EMEA.
As a Director in our Coverage team, you won't just be managing client relationships. You'll be building them from the ground up, operating with real autonomy, and working at the intersection of private equity, technology transformation and — increasingly — AI-driven disruption. The market context has never been more interesting: deal activity is recovering, AI is forcing every portfolio company to rethink its tech strategy, and clients need advisors who can cut through the noise.
This is an entrepreneurial role. You'll own relationships, develop new business, shape engagement strategy and contribute to how we evolve our service offering in the region. You'll have the backing of a global firm and the freedom to build something meaningful locally.
