How We Did It
Venquis has worked with Solvd’s parent company, Allianz, on numerous occasions. The company’s understanding of the Venquis experience and ability to identify leaders within an organisation, allowed us to identify Solvd’s CTO, and subsequently, build the team to deliver the vision.
The Venquis team carried out a thorough search across the European technology market to source an effective corporate CTO with experience of working in an entrepreneurial environment. Venquis has a strong track record, and database of contacts, across Europe within a variety of diver sectors, including insurance, investment management, consulting, shipping and food retail.
The Venquis fulfilment centre was able to source many strong candidates. Due to our decade-long experience operating in the European technology market, we were able to reach out to unexpected profiles. Following our thorough vetting process, we provided our client with several fully briefed and suitable candidates.
While three Venquis candidates were made offers by the CEO, at the last minute, they took a different direction and went with an internal applicant.
The client was very grateful for the process led by Venquis, and credited the thorough approach taken. The process itself took over six months, and the spec changed a lot. Had we had a stronger grasp of the various parties involved in the process, we may have been able to close it quicker.
