Information Technology Executive Search

Retained search for CIOs, CTOs, and senior technology leadership. We place technology executives for companies modernizing infrastructure, scaling engineering organizations, or transforming the technology function.

Technology Leadership for the Next Phase

Technology shapes competitive position in every industry we serve. We place CIOs and CTOs for companies modernizing infrastructure, scaling engineering organizations, integrating post-acquisition platforms, or preparing for IPO. From the executive seat down to senior technical leadership, our engagements are personally led by the founder and run on a retained model.

From the CIO & CTO Seats Down

A technology executive recruiter that operates across the full senior technology bench. CIO and CTO are the lead roles; the rest are placed under the same retained, founder-led model.

VP Engineering

Engineering organization leadership for companies scaling teams, building delivery practices, or rebuilding the engineering operating model.

VP Product

Product leadership for companies entering new markets, pivoting strategy, or building product-led growth motion at scale.

CISO / VP Security

Information security leadership for companies preparing for IPO scrutiny, public-company audit, or post-incident transformation.

Head of Cloud & Infrastructure

Senior leadership for companies migrating from on-prem, modernizing cloud architecture, or scaling platform engineering.

Head of Data & Analytics

Data leadership for companies building analytics function, deploying machine learning, or converting data assets into decision infrastructure.

VP Technology Operations

Tech ops leadership for companies stabilizing service delivery, hardening incident response, or maturing the technology run-state.

Technology Through Inflection

Senior technology leadership is most decisive at inflection. We place CIOs, CTOs, and senior tech leaders during the moments where the technology function has to evolve faster than the operating environment around it.

Cloud & Infrastructure Modernization

When the existing technology foundation cannot carry the next phase of growth, and a senior leader has to design what replaces it.

Post-Acquisition Tech Integration

Disparate platforms, data models, and security postures have to become one operating model without breaking what was working.

Engineering Scale-Up

When the engineering organization has to grow from tens to hundreds of engineers, the leadership requirements change before the team does.

IPO Readiness

Public-company technology demands change the role: SOX, security posture, reporting infrastructure, and disclosure-grade governance.

A Different Kind of CIO & CTO Recruiter

01

CIO & CTO-Led Practice

Senior technology leadership is one of our core practices. We place CIOs and CTOs across PE-backed, public, and growth-stage private companies.

02

Founder-Led Searches

The founder personally manages every CIO and CTO engagement, from intake call through offer acceptance. No hand-offs to junior associates.

03

Engineering & Infrastructure Depth

Decades of placement work across cloud, data, security, and engineering organizations. Sponsors return to MGP because we understand modern technology operating models.

04

A Wider Candidate Pool

The largest firms in our industry operate under recruiting restrictions that limit where they can source. We do not. Your search reaches further.

Hiring for the Future

Our placements aren't just role-fillers. They're matched to your culture and built for where the organization is heading next.

Technology Search Questions

Yes. CIO and CTO placements are a core part of our practice. The founder personally leads every senior technology search, from PE-backed growth companies to public companies modernizing the technology function.

We work across industries: small-to-mid-cap private equity portfolio companies, public companies, and growth-stage private companies. Most engagements come during transition events: cloud and infrastructure modernization, post-acquisition tech integration, engineering scale-up, or IPO readiness.

Most retained CIO and CTO engagements close within 90 to 120 days. Searches in regulated industries, or for technology leaders with specific transformation experience, can take longer. We prioritize the right cultural and strategic fit over speed.

Yes. We place VPs of Engineering, VPs of Product, CISOs, Heads of Cloud and Infrastructure, Heads of Data and Analytics, and VPs of Technology Operations. Each search is led by the founder, not delegated to associates.

Yes. Many of our technology placements happen inside PE-backed companies during integration, modernization, sale preparation, and IPO readiness. We understand the cadence and demands of PE-backed environments.
