The Wilton

The Wilton Group is a specialized executive search firm helping to navigate the unique challenges of hiring in today's global financial markets. Founded in 2003 and located in New Canaan, Connecticut, the firm is comprised of professionals who began their careers working within some of the world's largest financial institutions before transitioning to the executive search industry.

The Wilton Group team brings a unique perspective to executive search, with backgrounds in private banking, institutional sales, marketing, and relationship management that make them uniquely positioned to understand both the candidate's perspective and their clients' needs. Their experience working on Wall Street provides invaluable insight into the financial services industry.

The firm applies a high quality, low volume approach to their search business, running a limited number of searches at any given time to provide an exceptional level of service. They source candidates through personal contacts and referrals rather than databases, ensuring a more personalized and effective recruitment process.

The Wilton Group understands the sensitive nature of high-level searches and maintains a discreet approach to sourcing candidates. They never post jobs publicly, and their clients rely on their confidential methodology. With over 500 searches completed since inception and an average of just 5 candidates per search, they demonstrate their ability to identify and present only the most qualified professionals.

The firm is led by experienced partners including Founder and Managing Partner Joshua Crandall, Partner Kristen S. Doran, and Principal Faith W. Demko, who serves as Head of Asset & Wealth Management Executive Search. Their combined expertise spans across the financial services spectrum, from traditional banking to emerging fintech sectors.
