Background
Exclusive Networks is a global specialist cybersecurity distributor with an ambitious transformation roadmap following the involvement of Private Equity firm CD&R. The CEO, Jesper Trolle, alongside CD&R, recognized the need for an experienced executive to lead value creation and drive transformation across their $6B business. Enter Justain Bracken, a literal rocket scientist with a proven track record of managing complex multi billion dollar companies.
Exclusive Networks needed to move fast. They were looking for someone with rare pedigree, executive gravitas, transformation experience at scale, and the horsepower to steer enterprise level change.
With growth goals looming, they required not just the right candidate, but one who could start impacting the business immediately. The timeline from launch call to onboard was six weeks. There was no room for slow processes or missed marks.
Iperium leveraged our domain expertise and investor relationships to immediately engage top tier transformation leaders. We didn’t cast a wide net, we delivered precision.
With a sharp brief and the backing of CD&R, we fast-tracked a highly targeted search. Our shortlists featured transformation executives who had delivered results at speed and scale. Within days, Justain Bracken was identified, vetted, and engaged. A rocket scientist by background, Justain brought both analytical horsepower and operational muscle.
From launch call to contract signed in six weeks. Justain Bracken joined Exclusive Networks as Chief Transformation Officer and became a key member of the Executive Leadership Team. He’s already leading mission critical transformation initiatives that will underpin the business’s scale-up and value creation journey.
Why it worked
Speed, network, and precision.
Exclusive Networks needed a transformation leader yesterday, and Iperium delivered.
Fostering an engagement with CD&R, our relationship with the C-Suite, our credibility at the executive level, and our ability to engage passive, high-impact talent with zero delay was the difference.
We didn't just find the right candidate, we did it faster than the market expected. That’s the Iperium difference.
