We know the technology services market from both sides: the leaders who build it in India, and the leaders who sell it in the US. Two narrow practices, a partner leading every search, and 16+ years of executive search behind every brief.
Our practices
01India · Leaders who build
Strategic engineering, product, data and AI leaders for India's startups, SaaS companies and Global Capability Centres.
02United States · Leaders who sell
Revenue, commercial, sales and presales leaders, up to the C-suite, for US IT services and consulting firms.
Roles we search for
Five across technology, data and AI for our India practice, three in go-to-market for our US practice. Narrow enough to know the people, not just the job titles.
CTOs, VPs and heads of engineering who build teams, platforms and engineering culture.
Product and engineering leaders, and the principal architects who shape what gets built.
Cloud and platform leaders who keep products fast, secure and scalable as they grow.
Data science and data engineering leaders who turn data into products and decisions.
Heads of AI and ML, and the platform and governance leaders building AI capability in startups and GCCs.
Chief Revenue and Chief Commercial Officers, and the sales leaders who report to them.
Presales and solutions engineering leaders who can scope and sell complex, AI-enabled work.
Customer success and revenue leaders who sit within the go-to-market organisation.
Our approach
Our method is simple to describe and demanding to practise. We follow it on every search, whether the role is a Chief Data & AI Officer or a Chief Revenue Officer.
01
A sharp brief before anything else.
A scoping call to agree what the role must deliver, who it reports to, the decisions it owns, the compensation range and the timeline, captured in a short written scorecard.
02
The whole market, not just the active few.
A target list of companies and people, built for your role, including the strong candidates who are not looking and would never see a job post.
03
Fewer, better introductions.
Personal outreach and structured conversations against the scorecard. Every shortlisted candidate comes with an Impact Brief.
04
Momentum through the process.
We coordinate interviews, gather candid feedback on both sides and keep candidates engaged, so good people don't drift away mid-process.
05
The appointment is the beginning.
We manage the offer and notice period through to the start date, and stay close to you and your new leader through their first months in the role.
The mandates we take on
Illustrative briefs of the kind we accept. They describe the work we do, not past clients.
India · Technology, Data & AI
A growth-stage product company scaling from one product team to five, while adding machine-learning features. The brief: an engineering leader who can build the organisation and still go deep on architecture.
India · Technology, Data & AI
A GCC standing up an AI centre of excellence. The brief: a leader who has taken models to production at scale and can build the team, platform and governance to do it again.
United States · Sales & Go-to-Market
A services firm moving into AI-enabled transformation work. The search: a revenue leader to unite sales, presales and client partnerships, as credible with a client's CIO as with the firm's own delivery heads.
United States · Sales & Go-to-Market
A consulting firm whose pipeline depends on scoping complex solutions well. The brief: a presales leader who can build the solutioning function, not just staff it.
The right leader can change a company's direction; the wrong one can cost it years. After 16+ years in executive search, I started Avier to help clients get that one decision right.”
Insights
India · Technology & AI
Senior technology and AI searches rarely stall for lack of candidates. They stall because a few basic questions about the role were never settled, and the best candidates notice.

India · Technology & AI
India's GCCs have become one of the world's largest sources of senior data and AI hiring. A large talent pool does not make that hiring easy. It makes it noisy.

US · Go-to-market
Relationships and closing ability are still necessary. As services firms sell more technical, AI-enabled work, they are no longer sufficient.
