Press & Associates

We are Press & Associates, a privately held executive search firm operating in the executive search services industry. We were founded in 2016 and are headquartered in New York City, United States.

We build the executive teams that drive value creation. We help GPs and their portfolio companies hire the leaders who move the needle — fast. Whether you're building a value creation team at the fund level or hiring C-suite talent to be hands-on operators in one of your portfolio companies, we deliver exceptional candidates with a track record of execution in private equity-backed environments.

Our approach is anchored in a 100% private equity focus, with a network that is exclusively in the private equity space and a commitment to understanding what it takes to deliver on value creation plans. We move fast without compromising quality, and we rely on a deep network where our candidates are known quantities rather than cold leads. Our search strategy is built for the investment thesis, ensuring every hire aligns to value creation.

We specialize in Private Equity, Executive Search, Value Creation, Portfolio Operations, C-Suite Hiring, Technology Leadership, Operating Partner Searches, Private Equity Backed Companies, Talent Strategy, Human Capital, Competency Based Analysis, Candidate Assessment, Leadership Assessment, and Retained Search.

We operate in the United States and Canada, with offices in New York City, Miami, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Dallas, Austin, Boston, Atlanta, Washington, D.C., Vancouver, Calgary, and Toronto. If you’re investing behind people to successfully deliver on your investment thesis, we should talk.
