Our Edge.

Custom-Crafted

We deliberately engage on a limited number of search mandates at any given time. This enables us to provide focused and tailored solutions which serve the best interests of our clients. Our custom-crafted approach also enables us to understand our clients' specific capabilities and differentiators, and to effectively communicate these to the right target audience.

Experience

Operating from offices in London and New York, our partnership team is highly experienced in all aspects of the search process, and has worked closely together for a number of years. The longevity of our trusted relationships, deep networks and market knowledge - on both sides of the pond - allow Chilmark to deliver a time- and resource efficient search and selection process, helping our clients to hire right every time.

LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIPS

We work with a select group of clients, prioritizing and cultivating long-term, meaningful relationships above single transactions, working collaboratively and discreetly to develop honest dialogue, trust and enduring partnerships.

Team.

We have worked closely together for a number of years, successfully executing on a range of search mandates at all levels across asset management (alternative / traditional), banking, fintech and financial market utilities, in both Europe and the US.

We partner on each search, collaborating effectively and leveraging each other's strengths, while holding each other accountable to a higher standard.

We have found that working together is a force multiplier which takes Chilmark beyond the sum of its parts.
