Albany is a boutique search firm that exclusively moves senior technology leaders to VC backed and Private Equity owned organisations within the technology landscape.
We are privately owned and have been founded on the principle that only deep domain market knowledge, gained from operating within one space over many years, enables you to provide true advisory services around board composition.
By virtue of working specifically with VC and PE portfolio companies we support clients within high growth and cutting edge technology markets. Ranging from Consumer, Digital Media, B2B SaaS, Fin / Med / Health Tech, through to emerging Telecoms businesses. We specialise in providing technology leaders with proven experience in your relevant technology area.
Albany consists of a team of highly experienced individuals with a proven track record of operating within, and making introductions to, the Private Equity and Venture Capital technology markets.
All our consultants have a credibilty based upon having a deep domain knowledge enabling them to provide informed advice on up to date trends and market dynamics, whether you are a client seeking to grow your team, or a technology excutive looking to pursue a new opportunity.
We are always looking for like minded and highly motivated individuals with proven experience in relevant markets to join our team.
We are building a special company, within an industry that often has a negative reputation because it is represented by consultants that do not understand their markets and therefore offer their clients little value. This is their mistake and our opportunity. We are not a typical search business, we are an advisory practice. Working with us, you will be trained, coached and mentored within your specialism and together we will continue to grow a brand our clients trust and rely upon.
James has over 20 years experience working in search and moving CTO’s. He enjoyed 13 years working for a global brand before setting up his own firm in 2012.
James believes in providing an honest approach whilst delivering objective advice on the relevant markets. He looks to serve as an advisor, helping you make the right choice whether you are a client looking to augment your team or a technology leader looking for your next opportunity.
We are an innovative, boutique search firm
He provided consistently sound guidance through the process, keeping us updated at all points. The result was a fantastic new CTO, who we can’t wait to get started with.
Albany were recommended to us as the best search partner for VC-backed businesses like us looking for top-class technology execs. We weren’t disappointed.
I met James and was immediately impressed with his understanding of the need to recruit the right type of person; someone who could take over the technology piece from a founding CEO who had had tech as “his baby” since the business was founded.

Many search firms say they can hire in any sector. We chose Albany because they only work with CTO’s/heads of product in the PE/VC backed digital/tech sector – and that focus was evident in their detailed knowledge of the talent in this sector and the extent to which they were able to match the best candidates to Quill’s specific needs.
Albany ran an absolutely first class CTO and Head of Product search for Quill. I would highly recommend them.
We ended up making a really terrific hire who we definitely would not have found without Albany’s help.
