Ultrasoc

“Paul proved to be an excellent choice for leading our search and selection of a Non-Executive Chairman. He was able to fully understand the needs of our growing and developing company and identify a range of high calibre candidates for us to evaluate. Paul managed the whole process extremely effectively and skilfully, providing insightful feedback to me and the shortlisted candidates. We are delighted with the resulting appointment of Matthew Trowbridge who joined us in December 2011. Matthew is a well-respected leader in the electronics sector and was formerly CEO and Executive Chairman of Renesas Europe, a wholly owned subsidiary of Renesas Corp., the world’s number 1 supplier of microcontrollers.” Karl Heeks, CEO, Ultrasoc

“The two things that impressed me most about working with Paul were:

His tenacity. We started to work together on recruitment for an early stage company after a previous exercise had stalled (through no fault of Paul's) and he willingly kept at the task and produced more good candidates.

His management of the process. He was always very well organised, all the administrative arrangements worked perfectly, he made the appropriate calls, and although I have a lot of experience in recruiting, he was someone whose advice I found welcome on several occasions."

Tom Brown, Chairman

“Thank you very much for your help in making this match with AlertMe.  Your dedication and professionalism put you and Bailey Fisher head and shoulders above all other search companies I've dealt with, and it's been a pleasure to work with you over these last few weeks.  I hope we'll have the chance to do so again."

Cambridge start-up Neul was founded in 2010 by the team responsible for building CSR, Europe’s most successful fabless semiconductor company.   Neul announced its first product, NeulNET, in 2010, shortly before raising £8m in Series A funding in a transaction led by DFJ Esprit, with participation from Cambridge Angels, IQ Capital and the management team.   

“When we identified the need to hire a CFO for Neul, we were recommended to connect with Paul at Bailey Fisher. After the first meeting it was clear that Bailey Fisher understood the brief and within a short time frame we had met a number of very high calibre candidates.  Paul and Andrew maintained a high level of communication throughout the process, resulting in the appointment of an excellent candidate, David Smyth, who joined us in August 2011. I would have no hesitation in recommending Bailey Fisher to anyone looking to conduct a senior level search.” 
Glenn Collinson, Co-Founder and Director, Neul

"Novus recently retained the services of Bailey Fisher, a leading independent executive search firm in the technology sector, to conduct a search for a Divisional Manager who would be able to lead Novus Europe through its aggressive growth strategy. Joe Graziano, of Bailey Fisher, provided a large number of very qualified and professional candidates from which Novus narrowed the scope to a short list of six candidates. All of the candidates interviewed were extremely well qualified and would have met the needs of the position. Novus subsequently chose a candidate whose experience, skill sets, professionalism and personality best matched the executive we were looking for. The search, interview and selection process was very efficient and the communication was excellent. We will definitely utilize Bailey Fisher and Joe's expertise in the future if the need ever arises, and would highly recommend them for anyone who is looking for the consummate executive search firm in the area."
