Leadership decisions begin before the search.
Executive Search. Strategic Team Services. Governed Leadership Intelligence.
Doherty Search Partners is a specialized leadership search and talent-intelligence firm serving banking, specialty lending, private capital and adjacent financial-services markets. We maintain long-term relationships with high-impact leaders, map the markets in which they operate and help institutions make better leadership decisions — whether the need is one executive, an entire strategic team or intelligence about talent that may become relevant in the future.
Two service lines. One leadership intelligence system.
Two service lines. One leadership intelligence system.
Doherty Search Partners works with institutions making consequential leadership decisions — from one critical executive hire to the design, placement or representation of an entire strategic team.
Executive Search
Retained search for executive, board, business-line and mission-critical leadership across banking, credit, risk, operations, technology, product, data, lending and related financial-services functions. We define the leadership requirement, map the relevant market, evaluate evidence and manage a confidential search through placement and transition.

Strategic Team Services
DSP helps institutions build coordinated leadership teams around a defined strategy and confidentially represents proven teams evaluating the right institutional platform. Where a team opportunity involves creating or materially redesigning a lending capability, Mainlynk may separately evaluate the business, economics and operating architecture.

Leadership intelligence before you need to hire.
The best time to understand a leadership market is not the day a critical position becomes vacant.
Talent Intelligence Access gives approved institutions a governed way to monitor relevant leadership markets, maintain watchlists, review emerging availability and use candidate-approved anonymous discovery before a formal search becomes necessary.
Monitor the Market
Maintain a current view of relevant leadership markets, role movement and emerging availability.
Review Emerging Talent
Use DSP market intelligence, leadership watchlists and governed anonymous-discovery review to understand relevant leadership capability before launching a search.
Convert Intelligence into Search
When institutional need and candidate interest align, DSP manages candidate permission, confidential introduction and the resulting search or leadership discussion.
How We Work
Leadership intelligence before the search. Judgment through the search. Relationship after the search.
