Numi

Dialectica is a B2B information services firm that serves the world's top business professionals, by enabling them to gather real-time information and insights from industry experts across various markets, industries, and regions. They are on a mission to achieve unparalleled customer recognition by developing the most trusted and innovative knowledge-sharing platform in the world. The business has experienced tremendous self-financed growth since its founding in the summer 2015 and is accelerating its growth trajectory, with revenues at $100m+, growing at 40% YoY.

The Challenge

Dialectica believes in supporting their people to do their best work and grow, and building a dynamic, empowering, and respectful workplace is core to their purpose: Accelerate the shift to a prosperous society by empowering better decision-making.

With a global presence spanning 5 offices across 3 continents and a highly-trained team of over 1,000 employees, Dialectica retained numi Search Ventures with a confidential search to appoint a new CTO to replace their incumbent. An appointment which included a fixed requirement of the candidate living and working in Athens, Greece.

The Outcome

Technology and data is at the heart of the company’s growth strategy and the CTO is expected to be a critical enabler of success in the coming years. We sought a candidate with the vision to see the potential in their unique data assets and the skills to transform that potential into market-leading products and services.

This confidential appointment required an extensive market mapping process (under NDA), targeting Berlin, Barcelona, Paris, London, Amsterdam, and more. We mapped 2,000 B2B Enterprise organisations, utilising advanced AI Video outreach to boost engagement. Our search challenge had some unique issues for example their Product Engineering led culture, considering Athens isn’t a commonly respected technology centre of excellence, which we overcame with key data sets.
