REASON FOR THE SEARCH

After raising a new fund of €600M small-cap fund, they were looking to grow the team with an international profile.

THE PRIVATE EQUITY FIRM 

ArchiMed.

THE SEARCH REQUIREMENTS 

• ArchiMed sought a candidate with 2 to 5 years of experience in consulting, transaction services, or investment banking, specifically in M&A
• Required a strong foundation in deal execution, financial analysis, and transaction structuring
• Preference for candidates with international language skills to support the firm’s global expansion
• The search extended across Europe, targeting top-tier talent with relevant expertise
• Relocation to Lyon presented challenges, as it is not a major Private Equity hub, requiring a candidate open to transitioning to a new market
• Emphasis on cultural fit, adaptability, and a strong interest in healthcare-focused investments

THE PROCESS 

Upon starting this search, Alex Raw Selection’s Managing Partner briefed our research team to undergo a project to map out potential talent, starting with Europe's major Private Equity cities that have a Healthcare/Life Sciences/MedTech industry exposure.

London is always a great target for its diversity of nationalities attracting professionals from all over the world, and this is where we found the candidate who secured the position.

A Danish native, with 3 years post-graduate experience who was working at a big 4 firm in the management consulting division and specializing across the Life Sciences and Healthcare sector.

Not only bringing additional language skills to ArchiMed but a real passion across the Healthcare industry and a network of potential acquisitions, to which he has already introduced one that is undergoing due diligence by ArchiMed.

THE CANDIDATE’S THOUGHTS

"It has been a real pleasure working with Alex. After a short introduction call where Alex learnt more about my ambitions, and what I was looking for in a future role, he quickly found the ideal position where I am able to further develop as a professional whilst keeping my industry focus and being exposed to global projects. Alex was always only a text or a phone call away and made sure that I was well informed throughout the process."
