About us
We’re here to offer a dynamic alternative to the traditional executive search model. We thrive on the unique demands of PE-backed SaaS firms and believe they are best served by an equally fast-moving, high-performing partner.
Not distracted by other sectors and business interests, we’re a focused team deeply embedded in the global SaaS leadership community.
We don’t only know what it takes to deliver, we know who it takes too. Founded in 2014 by Christine Maslin, Capital Futures is now established as the leading player in the PE-backed SaaS executive search market. In a sector undergoing significant transformation, demand for our specialist knowledge has led to our own rapid year-on-year growth.
We’re driven by the desire to help our clients build leadership teams capable of delivering the meaningful impact that innovative SaaS organisations have on the world. Outstanding individuals who are motivated by building something that the world needs and bringing others with them on the journey. Growing a business, growing those around them, and growing personally.
Built for the PE mindset
In a market where value creation is driven by precision, pace, and talent, PE-backed software businesses demand leadership with a strong execution mindset and a deep understanding of private equity dynamics. With typical hold periods of just three to five years, expectations are high, and unforgiving.
We collaborate closely with our clients to gain a deep understanding of their structure, strategy, challenges, and culture. We represent you with professionalism and discretion, acting as an extension of your brand in the market.
We are relentlessly focused on client impact. Our shared dynamism and focus on results mean we align naturally with the PE-backed operating model – delivering critical leadership appointments while minimising time and cost.
Our values
Integrity
We act with honesty, transparency, inclusion, and respect – earning trust from clients, candidates, and each other.
Accountability
We take full ownership of our work and outcomes for our clients.
Impact
We deliver meaningful outcomes through deep expertise and sharp execution.
I have worked successfully with Capital Futures for the past six years, through three rounds of private equity investments. They’re highly specialist. Their market knowledge and search methodology enable us to acquire high-calibre leadership team members in a fiercely competitive environment.
