Financial Services

The financial services industry continues to undergo significant growth and transformation, due in part to increased and intense public scrutiny, technology advancements and new government regulations. This new environment, requires companies to take a proactive approach in grooming and identifying top talent, while creating new senior suite roles to strategically grow and protect the company, its employees and shareholders. 

The team at Michael Kelly Associates understands these demands and is comprised of individuals with vast experience in leadership and recruiting in the financial services industry.

Our mandates over the past several years include recruiting senior level executives (and teams) in the Insurance, Investment Banking, Commercial Banking, Retail Banking and Wealth Management sectors. We count some of the largest banks in the country as our clients and enjoy working with local and regional banks as well. 

Healthcare

Like never before, today’s healthcare industry is poised for dramatic change in the years to come. The Affordable Care Act created a cottage industry of new players. Combined with significant changes in technology, the “ traditional” healthcare industry proffers new sub-sectors of major influence moving forward. These areas include, Precision Medicine, Digital Health (Tele/Medicine), and Wearables, to name a few. 

With a tremendous knowledge of the healthcare industry and experience analyzing, investing and advising healthcare companies, our team brings a unique approach to the recruiting process. Working with senior leaders, board directors and leading industry innovators, our team is dedicated to the process of exceeding client expectations. 

Private Equity

Private Equity has become the asset class of choice for most investors today, which is a clear change from the past several years. Among other things, investors are most concerned with team stability, clear strategy and proven operational excellence. Since 2010, the private equity industry's assets under management have increased annually. Firms are increasing their capital commitments and are expected to raise more capital in the the next two years.

With this growth, comes increased scrutiny and the need for private equity firms to have best-in-class executive talent and board leadership. We recruit operating partners as well as executives and directors for portfolio companies.

Venture Capital

Venture capital experienced tremendous growth in 2014 and since then, the industry has continued to grow, with bigger deals and large valuations. As the industry continues to evolve, the need for top talent is increasing. We work with venture firms to build successful teams within their portfolio companies, including roles in the C-Suite and Board Members.
