Our Approach
A refined search process built around trust, context, and fit.
Linear runs quiet, partner-led searches. No public database, no volume pipeline — just careful, considered work for the roles where trust and stability matter most.
Leadership
Partner-led search, built inside private offices and households.
Linear was founded after more than a decade inside private family offices, UHNW households, and founder-led companies — most recently as Chief of Staff to a private family office in New York.
The firm exists to match principals and founders with people who can actually run their world, not just fill a job description. That work is built on judgment formed at the principals’ table, a practical understanding of how private households and family offices operate day to day, and a sharp eye for professionals who can work with discretion, anticipate needs, and stay steady in complex environments.
Every search is led personally, evaluated against real-world standards, and managed with the confidentiality UHNW families and founders expect. Linear does not run a public database or volume-driven process — it runs quiet, targeted searches for roles where trust, fit, and long-term stability matter more than speed.
Our Network
A relationship-driven network of placement partners.
Linear Talent works through a curated network of placement partners who operate behind the scenes. Because many prefer not to appear publicly, we represent their judgment, reach, and discretion under one point of contact — so clients get the depth of a collective without compromising confidentiality.
The Process
Four steps, run personally, from first call to first day.
Discovery
A private conversation to understand the principal, the environment, the pace, and the standards that define fit — before a single name is discussed.
Curation
A shortlist drawn from a closed network of operators we already know, not a database blast or public posting.
Assessment
Partner-led interviews, direct principal references, and full background verification before any introduction is made.
Placement
Offer guidance, transition support, and a 90-day check-in — with a replacement guarantee if the fit isn't right.
