Deal sheets verified with the capital partners who funded them.
A structured executive search for the development seat — where site selection, entitlement risk, and capital discipline decide the next five years of your pipeline.

Every placement carries a replacement guarantee.
Development resumes inflate easily. We verify which deals each candidate actually led — site control, entitlement, capitalization, delivery — versus deals they sat near, with the people on the other side of the table.
For data center and industrial pipelines, megawatts are the product. We verify utility negotiation history, interconnection experience, and entitlement wins in the jurisdictions that matter to you.

Reference-verified deals led end-to-end — site to stabilization — with dollar volume and role confirmed.
Verified rezoning, permitting, and community engagement wins in relevant jurisdictions.
Reference-verified pro forma ownership — Argus and institutional-grade models — and how underwriting held up against actuals.
Direct references from equity and debt partners on transparency, reporting, and follow-on appetite.
Reference-verified oversight of design and construction teams through delivery — not just deal origination.
Verified record building and retaining development managers and analysts as the pipeline scaled.
We’ll help scope the role on the call — pipeline, capital structure, geography, comp philosophy. Confidential searches welcome.
