We’ve reimagined executive search for FinTech.
Our trusted playbook helps investor backed, ambitious businesses hire by combining deep sector specialism and market intelligence to identify transformational leaders-with less hiring risk.
A name from a database
Generic outreach, easily ignored
First contact at the brief
Competing with every other recruiter
Trust built from zero, under time pressure
Every placement, leadership conversation and market interaction adds to a living view of FinTech talent.
Since 2019, we’ve been disrupting traditional executive search, by identifying tomorrow’s leaders early, watching how careers progress, where technical depth is building and where leadership signals start to show. From there, we nurture relationships over time through genuine conversation, so trust is already in place when the right opportunity arrives.
Our proven and repeatable methodology for executive search turns that knowledge into better access, sharper assessment and more confident appointments.
See the market more clearly.
We MAP the market to give you a current view of who is leading, who is emerging and how talent is moving across your sector.
Reach leaders others struggle to engage.
We ENGAGE and build trusted relationships across FinTech, creating a warmer route to sought-after leaders when opportunities arise.
Approach the right people at the right time.
We track market signals to PREDICT when exceptional leaders are ready to start a conversation and take the next step.
Turn intelligence into successful appointments.
Our methodology gives us the right intelligence to DELIVER key leadership hires, backed by a deeper understanding of the market.
Our method for identifying and staying close to future leaders comes from our parent company Levin.
We follow the same proven methodology for building and maintaining relationships with exceptional people, shaping the future of their industries.
Rather than relying on databases or transactions, we build lasting relationships over years. That approach has created one of the industry’s most trusted talent networks, giving our clients access to exceptional leaders and giving professionals a partner throughout their careers.
Storm2 stays meaningfully connected to FinTech’s leadership community, giving your opportunity the context, credibility and personal introduction it needs to stand out.

Most executive search firms start mapping your market once you brief them. While we’ve spent almost a decade refining Levin’s executive search methodology and building The Future Leaders Network meaning we begin the process with access to talent, live compensation data and niche market understanding already in place.
Our method runs across four stages: MAP, ENGAGE, PREDICT and DELIVER.
We build a current view of who’s leading and who’s emerging across your market, draw on relationships already in place through our Future Leaders Network, read the market signals that tell us when a leader is genuinely open to a move, and then test each candidate against career evidence and independent referencing before you appoint.
Because so much of that groundwork exists before you brief us, your search starts from knowledge rather than a blank page.
The Future Leaders Network is our living view of FinTech leadership, built one placement, one conversation and one relationship at a time. We identify leaders early, stay close as their careers progress, and let everything each search teaches us feed back in.
We have a team of dedicated FinTech Executive Search specialists, all covering a single vertical of the US FinTech space to ensure comprehensive market understanding.
We have specialist executive search teams for the following subsectors:
Timeframes depend on the seniority and specificity of the role, but because we begin with the market already mapped and relationships already in place, we’re often moving faster than a firm starting cold, without cutting corners on rigour.
We’d always rather present a considered shortlist than rush an appointment that has to last, so our speed comes from years of preparation rather than pressure applied late.
We appoint across the full leadership team for the FinTechs we work with, from C-suite officers to the VPs and directors who sit just beneath them.
Our teams have experience hiring executive and senior leadership talent for FinTechs across: Risk & Compliance, Product Management, Finance & Operations, Software Engineering, Sales & Marketing, Data & Analytics, and Legal functions.
Whether you’re appointing a single board-level hire or building out an entire leadership tier, we run the same rigorous, evidence-led process behind each one.
The simplest way is to speak to one of our consultants and talk through the role, the market and what your next stage of growth actually needs. From there we’ll shape a targeted brief and map the field, so you leave the first conversation with a clearer view than you had going in.
