Why Proton Global

We specialize in investor-facing and revenue generating talent across institutional finance, grounded in first-hand experience of how capital moves through global markets.

Our business experts come from businesses of all shapes and sizes, but they share one thing in common - a commitment to promoting business and enabling others to do the same.

All services
The firm was founded on first-hand experience in financial markets and leadership - building and managing institutional client relationships at some of the world's leading investment banks. These are the same roles we now recruit for.

This practical understanding of how client businesses in financial markets are built and how performance is generated, allows us to assess candidates not simply on experience, but on commercial judgment, relationship depth, and genuine revenue generating capability.

We focus exclusively on professionals already performing at a high level in their current organizations — people who are rarely active in the market and only reachable through credible, peer-level engagement. That access is not something a generalist recruiter can replicate.

Our process is disciplined and precise: targeted market mapping, direct outreach, and rigorous assessment before any candidate reaches your desk.

We prioritize quality of insight and long-term fit over volume of submissions.

Commercial Coverage Review

Assessing the effectiveness of your commercial model.

We review how client coverage and capital origination functions are structured relative to your strategic objectives. This includes analysis of coverage segmentation, resource allocation, CRM utilisation, and the effectiveness of existing data and reporting frameworks.

The objective is to identify opportunities to improve commercial focus, strengthen client engagement, and ensure the distribution platform is aligned with long-term growth priorities.

Strategic Advisory & Execution

Strategic support for building commercial capability.

For organisations in periods of growth or transition, we provide advisory support across commercial strategy and operational execution. This can include strategic business management, distribution strategy development, and fractional leadership support to help shape and implement commercial initiatives.

Our focus is on helping organisations build disciplined, scalable coverage models that support sustainable capital formation.

Strategic Talent Search

Identifying the individuals who drive commercial performance.

We conduct targeted search mandates focused on the professionals responsible for capital origination, client coverage, and distribution leadership.

Our approach prioritises individuals with proven commercial capability, strong client relationships, and the credibility to operate effectively within sophisticated capital markets environments.
