When you want to grow your business but are looking for talent, don’t make the mistake of simply hiring a salaried CEO or GM.
The reality is that privately owned businesses can’t offer the salary to attract the best people anyway . They can however offer the opportunity to buy into the business. Equity based executive recruitment levels the recruitment playing field, and ensures you don’t just hire a GM on training wheels.
Bringing serious talent into your business can be a gamechanger.
At Platform 1, we know proven CEOs and General Managers who are looking for more than a paycheck. These are ambitious leaders who want genuine skin in the game, the opportunity to create value, share in growth, and build something meaningful alongside the owner. Often they bring experience from larger organisations, along with capabilities in strategy, leadership, operations, sales, or scaling businesses. More importantly, they’re invested in the outcome because they bring some capital and buy in to the business.
Because when someone has a stake in the business, they’re not just working for the next salary review or chasing the next job offer. They’re committed to growing the business alongside you.
Whether you’re looking to accelerate growth, the right person can transform what’s possible.
Find a leader with skin in the game. Not just another employee.
