Frequently Asked Questions
What is the fee structure for GLG's board placement services?
GLG’s specialized private equity board placement services follow a fully success-aligned fee structure, with transparent pay-at-placement pricing. Unlike traditional board placement firms, our structure is built entirely on mutual success, ensuring that you only pay when a successful placement is finalized.
How long does it take for GLG to source board candidates?
We eliminate the long lead times traditionally associated with a board placement. Because we maintain an always-on network of global executives, we operate at a significantly accelerated pace. Our specialized team aims to present precisely matched board candidates for you to interview within just one week of your project kick-off.
How does GLG differ from traditional executive search firms?
Traditional executive search is optimized for full-time placements, whereas GLG’s dedicated team focuses exclusively on board and deal advisor mandates. Instead of cold market mapping, we leverage our custom platform’s proprietary data and insights from daily expert interactions to screen senior-level operators at unprecedented speed. Because our broader ecosystem keeps us in continuous dialogue with global business leaders, we bypass traditional outreach delays. This allows us to deliver veteran executives who seamlessly integrate into your value creation playbook, wrapped in an agile workflow and pricing structure tailored specifically to advisory mandates rather than full-time hires.
Can we transition our pre-deal diligence experts into permanent board placement?
Yes. Our private equity board search services are intentionally designed to help you transition the trusted advisors who supported your commercial due diligence into permanent board roles. This strategy supports strategic continuity, bridges knowledge gaps between the deal team and new management, and maintains operational momentum immediately post-close.
