Practice Leader: Ralph Dieckmann
Dieckmann & Associates has been recruiting senior executives for private equity and venture-backed enterprises since its inception in 1981. As a boutique firm, we have a simpatico with the private investing world and, by limiting our workloads, have structured our engagement process to respond to the critical nature of private investee company recruiting.
Because Ralph Dieckmann has been an angel investor in businesses as diverse as publishing and cruise ship start-ups and manufacturing companies, he brings insights to the search process gleaned from his own investments and Board participation. This breadth translates well to senior searches at the presidential, chief financial and chief marketing officer level.
"The selection processes required to recruit effective talent into start-up and transition environments varies significantly from those in larger, more mature companies," notes Dieckmann, "particularly as it relates to such characteristics as creativity, decisiveness, flexibility, drive, perseverance and understanding of group dynamics. In a great many ways, running one of these businesses requires greater skill and agility than leading a Fortune 1000 enterprise."
