Our positioning

Why choose Turgot Executive Search for this mandate ?

Recruiting a fintech executive means assessing a hybrid profile, able to navigate between the financial sector's regulatory constraints and technology's demands for rapid execution. Turgot Executive Search supports growing fintechs and financial institutions in these recruitments, whether structuring founders, strengthening a CEO, or recruiting technical leadership.

Our difference

Three reasons to
work with us.

01

Assessment of the hybrid finance-tech profile

We qualify the dual regulatory and technological competence that leading a fintech demands.

02

Understanding of scale-up challenges

Our consultants factor in the fundraising and rapid-growth issues specific to these organisations.

03

A pool widened to international profiles

Our presence in Singapore lets us widen the search to relevant international fintech ecosystems.

Our method

Recruiting a fintech executive starts with clarifying the company's maturity — early stage, scale-up, post-fundraise structuring — to target a profile whose experience matches the relevant stage of development. Augmented sourcing widens the pool to French and international fintech ecosystems, before qualification that assesses the dual regulatory and technological competence.

Fintech executive recruitment — hybrid finance and tech profiles

Fintech recruits hybrid profiles — technically strong in software development or data science, yet able to navigate financial regulation (FCA, AMF, PSD2, MiCA) and build commercial relationships with traditional financial institutions. These profiles are scarce and in high demand across Europe and South-East Asia.

Turgot Executive Search recruits fintech leadership positions: CEO, COO, CTO, Head of Sales (B2B financial), and compliance directors. We support both high-growth fintech startups and scale-ups structuring their management team ahead of a fundraise or IPO.
