Mitchellake Group Exec Overview_2016
- 3. The MitchelLake Group provides global executive search and talent
solutions to the world's leading technology ventures, brands and advisory
firms. From disruptive startups to Fortune 1000, MitchelLake supplies the
leadership and technical talent that enables entrepreneurs to scale, and
businesses of scale to innovate.
Founded in Sydney in 2001 MitchelLake was forged in the technology boom
of the late 90’s, and hardened in the bust that followed. Our founders were
as confident then as they are now, that emerging technologies were forever
going to change the way we live, work, and play. MitchelLake operations now
span seven cities over four continents.

- 4. Everything, top down and bottom up. Over the past three years the
market has experienced an unprecedented uplift in demand for
digitally experienced senior executive and specialist candidates
across product, strategy, data & analytics, CX, UX & Design,
engineering, sales & marketing.
While growth in talent supply remains relatively flat, breakout
demand is being driven globally by two key factors:
The digital transformation (DX) of mature enterprise organisations &
industries has reached epic proportions. DX investment is currently
growing at ~18% YOY and expected to reach an annual run rate of
USD $2.1Trillion globally by 2019. (IDC 2016)
An uplift in venture technology investment which has trended at
more than 50% year on year growth for the past three years.
According to CB Insights, in 2015 ~USD$128.5 Billion was invested in
ventures globally, up from 89.4 Billion in 2014. Notably, investment in
Asia was up 300% year on year in 2015, to USD $39.7 Billion.
What's changing?

- 6. Identifying rare talent.
Vision: The ability to clearly identify, communicate and instil a sense of common purpose and mission. Being able to bind
the "Why" of an organisation, venture or initiative to its employees and customers. We consistently observe that this is
what attracts and motivates the best talent, engages the most effective teams, and builds the most successful businesses.
Agility: Things are changing at rapid pace, requiring us all to be more nimble, but to us, being agile isn't just about rapid
iteration, or a sequence of notes on a white board. It is the capacity to test and learn, win or fail fast, effectively adjust,
communicate a path and move forward.
Balance: Not everyone who is an innovator can build or lead an enterprise, or even operate effectively in a large
organisation. Similarly not all enterprise executives are effective in a growth company. We have observed and understand
the leadership competencies required to navigate and succeed in either context, from startup to global brand.
Diversity: This is the DNA of success, not a policy. Over the last 30 years we have seen many organisations, even entire
industries, decimated by unforeseen change. We appreciate that identifying the clearest focus, and perspective, requires
the use of more than a single lens.
The demand for leadership, experience and skills to drive innovation has never been higher.
Beyond generic executive qualities, which particular attributes do our most successful clients value
when hiring a leader to navigate significant change or growth?
