expertise

Orr Search is built around a simple belief: the quality of the work depends entirely on the quality of the people doing it. We’ve grown deliberately, bringing in people with the right mix of market knowledge, specialist expertise, and a standard of service we’re not willing to dilute.

Every search is led by a senior consultant who is personally accountable from mandate to placement, supported by a team built to deliver the same standard at every stage of the process.

Tom Orr

Founder & Managing Director

Tom founded Orr Search after 15 years placing fund-level and portfolio leadership talent across Large-Cap, Mid-Market, and Institutional PE in Europe and North America. He built the firm around a straightforward principle: that executive search in private equity value creation should be done to the highest possible standard, on every mandate, without exception. That principle shapes the approach, the standards, and the culture that defines Orr Search today.
