The right hire. The right acquisition. The right person in the room when it matters.
Most advisers understand either deals or people. Very few understand both. Thomsett Capital exists for the moments when getting it wrong is not an option — a business to buy or sell, a leader to place, a family enterprise to protect and grow.
01 — Fractional & Interim Executive Placement
Family businesses need senior capability without the risk of a permanent hire. We place fractional and interim C-suite and operational leaders from a curated bench of proven operators — people who have been in complex, privately-owned businesses before and don't need managing. Fast to deploy. Right from day one.
02 — Executive Search for Family & Private Businesses
Leadership hiring where discretion is not optional. CEOs, CFO's, CSO's, NED's and Chiefs of Staff placed into family enterprises and private businesses where the wrong hire causes lasting damage. No volume. No process theatre. One conversation, one candidate, one right decision.
03 — Concierge Acquisition and Exit Advisory
For principals who want to acquire or exit a business quietly, without an auction process or a large advisory team. We source the target, run the approach, manage the process, and protect your identity until you choose to reveal it.
04 — Private Introductions
Introductions to private bankers, family office managers, specialist tax advisers, and trusted legal counsel. For those who prefer a warm door to a cold one. By arrangement
