Integre Partners

We are a highly focused, productive team who uncover and motivate business owners to sell their companies and talented executives to change employers. Since 1989, Ralph Dieckmann has been an investor in new ventures and private equity buyouts, sitting on public and private boards. These experiences led in a natural sequence to an interest in expanding from the practice of executive search to buy-side acquisition advisory. Integré Partners provides a research and outreach platform on which both practices run efficiently. The primary objective in all the acquisition work performed by the firm is to locate attractive targets which are "proprietary" in nature, i.e. not represented by a sell-side agent. This provides the client with timing and pricing advantages. Buy-side clientele include first time individual buyers who are relatively unsophisticated in the acquisition process as well as private equity organizations which have acquisitions as the fundamental basis of their business model. We also assist corporations - from tiny to multi-billion dollar size - in expanding their scope and positioning through the acquisition process. In the recruiting arena we are known for our thoughtful insights into executive search and its processes and are committed to high-quality, long-term client results and relationships. We have been ranked among the top fifteen search consultants active in senior-level, general management recruiting in the U.S. and have recruited presidents in over fifty industry segments. Specialties:"C" level recruiting experience for CEO's, COO's, CFO's, CMO's and others in a broad array of industries including healthcare, financial services, manufacturing & distribution, real estate, transportation, not-for-profit and professional services.
