Elyse Murphy — CEO
Talent leader with 15+ years of experience building and scaling recruiting functions across private equity, advisory, and high-growth environments. I’ve led executive hiring through both rapid growth and critical inflection points, bringing a disciplined, high-bar approach to leadership hiring across finance, GTM, and operational roles. My work is grounded in aligning talent strategy to business outcomes, particularly in environments where every hire has outsized impact. Known for operating as a true business partner, I bring a headhunter mindset, strong market perspective, and a consistent focus on quality over volume. I’m currently partnering with BCT to support executive search across private equity, restructuring, and turnaround mandates. My focus is on CFO and senior leadership hiring in high-stakes, time-sensitive environments, working closely with investors and operators to define roles, calibrate talent, and drive successful outcomes. I’m also open to full-time leadership opportunities where talent is viewed as a strategic driver of growth, transformation, and long-term value creation. I’m most energized by organizations that value thoughtful leadership, strong culture, and sustainable growth, and where talent acquisition is viewed as a strategic advantage rather than a reactive function. If those values are aligned, let's find time to network!
