About Avier Partners
Specialist search, senior-led.
Avier Partners was founded in 2026 by Aravind, after more than two decades in executive search across technology, data and AI leadership, and sales and go-to-market teams in the US, Europe and India.
Our story
Our story
Avier Partners grew out of more than two decades of executive search across technology, data and AI leadership, and sales and go-to-market hiring for clients in the US, Europe and India. The firm focuses that experience on both sides of the technology services market: the leaders who build it, and the leaders who sell it.
The two sides inform each other. The AI platform an Indian engineering leader builds today is the solution a US revenue leader sells tomorrow, and knowing both helps us judge candidates in each. Keeping the practices narrow is deliberate. In India we work with startups, SaaS companies and Global Capability Centres building engineering, product, data and AI capability. In the US we work only with IT services and consulting firms, and only on go-to-market roles. Different markets, different functions, different clients, so each practice can go deep rather than wide.
What we offer is depth in a narrow field, a partner leading every search from intake to start date, evidence rather than résumés behind every recommendation, and a 90-day replacement guarantee behind every placement.
What we value
Four principles we will not compromise.
- 01
Discretion
Careers and companies are at stake in every conversation. Nothing leaves the room without permission, and we never trade on who we know.
- 02
Rigour
We are thorough where others are fast. Every recommendation is supported by evidence you can read, question and test.
- 03
Partnership
A partner leads every search from the first call to the start date. You will never be handed to someone you have not met.
- 04
Longevity
We measure success by how a leader is doing years after an appointment, not at the signing of a contract, and we build our client relationships to match.
Leadership
The partner accountable for your search.
Every search is led by a partner, from the intake call to the start date.
