  • PreSales Expertise: Successfully placing FireEye’s first PreSales professional in the UK, which catalysed the company’s growth in the region.
  • Strategic Expansion: Over the years, we facilitated over 35 strategic hires, spanning Sales and PreSales roles across key European territories.
  • IPO Support: As FireEye went through its pivotal IPO, we supported their expansion and organisational transformation.

Result

  • 35+ Strategic Hires: Across EMEA, including roles in Sales and PreSales, contributing to FireEye’s significant growth.
  • Navigating Mergers and Acquisitions: Supported FireEye through their acquisition of Mandiant in 2013, ensuring the integration of key talent.
