Overview

Chartwell’s Financial Services team works with boards and CEOs to recruit board directors and senior management talent across the country. Our team has conducted more than 250 successful executive search assignments for our Financial Services clients, serving more than 40 clients over the last decade primarily focused on Texas, Southeast and Mid-West institutions.

Commercial and Community Banking

We work with emerging, scaling, mid-cap and regional banks that need to raise their bar at the executive level. Whether it be expanding a bank’s scale or business lines, driving digital transformation, strategic succession planning or addressing diversity, we help clients think about differentiation in the marketplace and consistently deliver game-changing leadership for our clients.

Mortgage

We work with bank-owned and independent mortgage companies in need of elevating their senior leadership. Many mortgage businesses need leadership that can scale processes including implementing digital business strategies in order to gain efficiency in a rising rate environment.

Wealth Management

We serve wealth management businesses inside financial institutions and independent RIAs across the country. Most firms need executive leadership that can drive transformation leveraging digital solutions, comprehensive product offerings and client acquisition/ retention success.

Fintech

We understand how to tap into best-in-class digital leadership for Fintechs. Both bank and non-bank players need saleable leaders to address consumer demand for high quality customer experience-driven financial products.
