About Alacrity Advisors
Alacrity Advisors is a boutique executive search firm founded in 2010, specializing exclusively in the Asset and Wealth Management industry. Based in Boston, the firm provides big search firm experience with the high-touch and focused approach that only a small firm can offer. Led by Co-Founder Julie Stevenson, who brings over three decades of executive search experience, Alacrity Advisors is committed to delivering exceptional candidates with speed and precision.
Alacrity Advisors distinguishes itself through its rigorous and focused approach to executive search in the Asset and Wealth Management sector. The firm deliberately limits the number of searches they work on at any given time to ensure each client receives the highest level of service and attention. This focused methodology allows them to dedicate the necessary resources and time for successful search completion.
The firm's experienced approach is built on over three decades of industry expertise, with the majority of their clients being repeat customers - a testament to their deep industry knowledge and ability to identify and attract top-tier candidates. Their smaller off-limits list compared to larger competitors provides additional flexibility in candidate sourcing.
Alacrity's impactful methodology leverages best practices compiled over years in the industry, with a process specifically designed to deliver qualified candidates efficiently. They conduct original research for every search, guided by their extensive network and proprietary database, while striving to provide diverse candidate slates for each assignment.
The firm's unique model emphasizes client collaboration throughout the search process, driving successful outcomes. Led by Julie Stevenson, who previously served as Executive Director and Head of the U.S. Asset & Wealth Management Research Team at Russell Reynolds Associates for twenty years, Alacrity combines institutional knowledge with boutique-level service.
Alacrity Advisors serves a diverse range of clients including asset management firms, wealth management companies, banks, insurance companies, endowments and foundations, and family offices, recruiting for critical functional areas across investments, distribution, marketing, technology, compliance, and risk management.
