ABOUT THE COMPANY:

ZRG is a global talent advisory firm that is revolutionizing how companies hire and manage talent. With a data-driven approach to executive and professional search, ZRG is changing the way clients think about finding top talent. The company’s digital Zi platform combines talent intelligence, candidate insights, and process improvements to deliver executive searches more quickly and with proven better results. Backed by private equity investor RFE Investment Partners, ZRG is one of the fastest-growing firms in the search industry, offering a full suite of retained search, on-demand talent, and consulting and advisory solutions across the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Australia.

SITUATION:

Since its acquisition by RFE in 2018, ZRG has experienced remarkable growth through both organic expansion and strategic M&A. To further capitalize on this momentum, ZRG, in collaboration with G2 Capital Advisors, sought to diversify and enhance its service portfolio. The focus was on expanding executive coaching capabilities to distinguish ZRG’s offerings in the marketplace and deliver additional value to clients.

ENGAGEMENT:

G2 Capital Advisors, LLC (“G2”) served as ZRG’s exclusive buy-side advisor, spearheading a strategic M&A initiative to identify and engage with potential acquisition targets in the human capital consulting market. ZRG and RFE partnered with G2 to leverage the firms’ deep-rooted expertise across the Technology & Business Services practice, focusing on services-oriented businesses, including specialty consulting and executive search.

OUTCOME:

G2’s strategic guidance led to the successful acquisition of Bravanti, a global leader in executive coaching, leadership acceleration, and outplacement/career transition. Based in Chicago, Bravanti is renowned for its ability to help individuals and organizations unlock their potential and drive transformative change. Bravanti’s offerings include executive coaching, executive team optimization, new leader assimilation, leadership acceleration, and outplacement/career transition services, including executive advisory and Next Act. Bravanti brings expertise in three key areas: executive coaching, leadership acceleration, and outplacement career transition,” said Larry Hartmann, CEO of ZRG. “Bravanti’s global cadre of highly experienced coaches helps unlock the potential of executives up through C-level who deliver powerful business results and exceptional return on their company’s investments “This combination within the ZRG Consulting Division will enhance our ability to deliver innovative talent solutions to clients worldwide,” Susan Gallagher, who will continue as CEO of Bravanti, said. “With more than 300 highly accomplished and credentialed executive coaches, leadership development experts, and career transition coaches, we’re eager to provide even more of our high-impact solutions for our clients’ toughest challenges.” The entire Bravanti leadership team will continue with the business. “I am thrilled to have Bravanti join ZRG,” said Michelle Stuntz, President of ZRG’s Consulting & Advisory Services division. “Having gone through their leadership development training , I know from first-hand experience how effective they are at helping executives build their leadership skills from early stage career to C-suite level.” Andrew Keleher, Managing Director, Business Development at G2 Capital Advisors, LLC (“G2”), commented, “It has been a privilege to act as ZRG’s advisor in this significant acquisition. Over the last several years, our deep expertise in the human capital management sector played a crucial role in supporting one of the world’s fastest-growing human capital management platforms on its growth strategy. It has been a tremendous pleasure, and we look forward to continuing our partnership as we enhance ZRG’s consulting capabilities even further.”
