Our Partnership
Supporting the founding team and enabling significant development in employment brand, hiring methodology, and talent assessment was fundamental to enable Prewave to assemble a leadership team appropriate for rapid international expansion. Our collaboration focussed on addressing needs in both go-to-market and finance through the appointments of a VP Global Sales and a Finance Director. Strengthening these core functions in the context of an ultra-high growth vertical with strong regulatory tailwinds and a new category proposition was vital to our partnership, setting up Prewave for a rapid period of expansion.
