Artemis specializes in creating value for financial sponsors through human capital. When you need talented leaders with the intelligence and proven experience to drive results, we know where to find them and how to strategically position your opportunity in the market.
We’re highly selective, and we don't believe in wasting anyone’s time or money. If we're not completely confident we can find the right candidate for you, we won't accept your search. And once your search is underway, we’ll present transformative leaders with the experience and emotional intelligence required to drive a successful exit.
Keeping our client portfolio smaller and purposefully selective allows us to conduct highly tailored and efficient searches. By hand selecting our clients and applying that same diligence to finding candidates, we’re able to match you with executives who are inspired and prepared to propel your organization forward.
At Artemis, we are human capital experts who are 100% focused on working with private equity and venture capital investors. We know what works when seeking and attracting top-tier talent, and our consultative approach yields the best possible results for your search. You won’t find the same level of industry savvy, sense of urgency, or intellect anywhere else.
We have the industry background and insights necessary to strategically position your firm and career opportunity, giving you direct access to the most highly sought-after candidates.
Artemis’ approach also expertly aligns executive background and organizational fit to match your business with professionals who have a track record of success in fast-paced environments.
Once we’re up to speed on your business operations, competitive landscape, and areas of opportunity, we’ll work quickly and efficiently to identify top notch leaders you’ll be excited to hire and have on your team.
We partner with lower middle market private equity and venture capital investors and their portfolios for searches spanning the Executive team, Finance, Marketing, Human Resources and other core functions. We place game-changing C-suite and VP level leaders who have led sponsor-backed companies through at least one successful exit.V

By being highly selective about her partners, Tara ensures that she represents only the best candidates and opportunities in the market.
It’s unlikely you’ll find a smarter recruiter or one with a greater sense of urgency than Tara. She studies the market and its players voraciously, and will learn the key drivers of your business — and the competitive landscape — with remarkable speed.
