Our approach
With no time to waste, our team got to work! Conducting an extensive search within the fintech landscape, by leveraging our network and expertise in the industry to identify potential candidates and engage with them about the opportunity. As well as through targeted outreach to executives at relevant startups and companies.
The search focused on individuals with an understanding of the startup ecosystem, experience in the fintech or insurtech space, and a track record of success in leadership roles. We reached out to potential candidates through our network, as well as through targeted outreach to executives at relevant startups and companies.
Through this process, we were able to generate a strong pipeline of qualified candidates. We then conducted in-depth screenings and assessments to narrow down the list to a shortlist of six individuals.
We presented these candidates to NN Ventures, providing detailed information and analysis on each individual. The candidates were assessed on their fit with the company culture, their experience, their leadership style, and their vision for the future of NN Ventures.
