Head of Sales Hired in 16 Days

The Challenge

‍

The client was scaling rapidly across time zones and urgently needed a Head of Sales to drive growth across GMT markets. Their internal team had been searching for over two months without success struggling to find someone with the right mix of crypto-native experience, institutional relationships, and leadership maturity.

Speed was critical. Every week without the right leader meant missed opportunities and delayed revenue expansion.

‍

The Solution

‍

We activated our Leadership Search Framework, leveraging our vetted network of senior GTM talent across Europe and the Middle East.

Within 72 hours, we delivered a shortlist of 5 qualified candidates — each benchmarked on:

‍

• Proven track record of revenue generation in digital assets or fintech
  
• Experience leading cross-regional sales teams
  
• Deep understanding of institutional onboarding and compliance frameworks
  
  

By day 10, two candidates reached the final interview stage.

‍

By day 16, the offer was signed.

‍

The Outcome

‍

• 16 days from brief to hire
  
• The client’s new Head of Sales built out the GMT commercial team within 3 months
  
• Resulted in a notable uplift in institutional partnerships and revenue growth across the region
  
  

The client has since retained us to fill additional GTM and leadership roles as they expand globally.

Key Takeaway

‍

Speed is nothing without precision.
Our process doesn’t just find talent fast  it finds the right people who build teams, create structure, and move revenue forward.
