SIMPLICITY IS THE ULTIMATE SOPHISTICATION
ABOUT US
We had a very deliberate focus to get us off the ground and we have had our share of luck. We will always have a lot of people to thank for helping us become DESELECTED. We believe we have a unique discourse amongst our industry. Our belief is our industry is more often than not a commerical pollutant. We exist to solve this across venture, growth, private or public ownership. Our headhunting is about maximising money multiples for everyone involved with empathy, ease and without exception. We also do this with a social conscience.
