Heidrick & Struggles International, an advisory firm providing executive search and leadership consulting services, has hired Richard Thackray and Jonathan Goldstein for its global private equity practice.
Thackray joined the firm as a partner in London and Goldstein as a partner in New York.
Both will focus on regional clients within the private equity sector, managing senior-level administration, operations, and searches for private equity funds and their investment management portfolio companies.
Thackray was previously chief executive and partner of Armstrong Management Group, a leadership advisory and executive search consultancy focused on private equity and asset management firms across Continental Europe and Russia. He was earlier a partner at Elwin Capital Partners, where he was responsible for managing two major investment portfolios.
Goldstein was previously a client partner at a global executive search firm and previously spent eight years, the last four as partner, with Sextant Search Partners, a boutique firm with an emphasis on searches for financial services and alternative asset management firms. He is also a former vice president in the private equity and venture capital unit of Sun Capital Partners in Florida and former director and fund manager within Absolut Invest Capital Management’s brokerage and investment unit in Moscow, Russia.
"Richard and Jonathan are exceptional additions to our 75-person global private equity and venture capital team, each bringing unique insights and proven track records that will help us continue to grow in London and New York, respectively," says Todd Monti (pictured), managing partner of Heidrick & Struggles’ private equity and venture capital practice.
