About us

We are passionate about helping innovative businesses achieve their scale-up ambitions

Our expertise is in understanding the unique challenges of scaling a company and securing those rare, talented business leaders who can achieve extraordinary growth objectives.

We created Upscale Partners to support entrepreneurs and their investors in building exceptional leadership teams – those capable of creating the global businesses of tomorrow.

Our management team has worked together since 2006 and has a combined 30 year track record in executive search, with a shared passion for transforming businesses through talent.

We believe our clients shouldn't have to compromise on critical appointments and, therefore, we provide specialist knowledge, a tailored service and a global reach to access even those rarest of skill-sets.

For us, scale-ups are fascinating – we get to the heart of our clients' objectives, culture, challenges and goals. This depth of understanding is the cornerstone of our approach and the reason we have helped so many businesses to make powerful hires that exceed expectations with tangible results.

We share your definition of success – whether it is to build a unicorn, lead an IPO or simply change the world! So, each and every time we see one of our appointments deliver significant revenue growth or an incredible exit value, we share that sense of triumph and achievement.

That is why we do what we do.
