Who We Are
The world didn’t need another executive search firm.
It needed a break from the old guard — the bloated, slow-moving firms still chasing prestige over performance. We built something different: a partner obsessed with helping fintechs scale smarter, faster, and stronger.
That’s why Morton Herbert exists.
We launched in the middle of a global pandemic — not because the timing was perfect, but because disruption demands new thinking. While the rest of the world paused, we pushed forward. Built on grit, not legacy. Focused on precision, not checking off boxes.
Morton Herbert is a boutique firm by design. Small, strategic, and fast-moving. We operate with the discretion of insiders — no fluff, no red tape, and no recycled candidate decks. Every search is custom. Every placement is a performance hire.
We don’t flaunt our client list. We work in the shadows, where outcomes matter more than optics. Because our clients aren’t chasing attention — they’re chasing execution. And so are we.
Our niche is tight: we place high-impact finance and operations leaders into VC & PE-backed fintechs. That’s all we do — and it’s why we do it better. We take the inch-wide, mile-deep approach, building leadership teams that drive value from day one.
Yes, Morton Herbert is an executive search firm — but we’re also your strategy partner. The one you call when stakes are high, and average isn’t an option.
These aren’t buzzwords — They’re operating principles
