Our Services

Talent Solutions
Built for
Fintech Africa.

From retained executive search to embedded recruitment and flexible labour hire — tailored for the pace and complexity of African and Middle Eastern financial services.

Executive
Search

Our flagship service. Retained, confidential, and deeply personalised executive search for C-suite and senior leadership roles across the fintech ecosystem in Africa and the Middle East.

We don't post job ads and wait. We go direct — leveraging Cliff's personal network, deep domain expertise, and decades of built relationships to surface leaders who are not actively looking but are exactly right.

Every candidate is personally vetted, every brief is thoroughly understood, and every engagement is handled with complete discretion.
