  The Up Group is the destination for leading global digital and technology talent. Our focus is on working in growth sectors and with growth companies. Up is a specialist executive search boutique focused on the digital, mobile and technology sectors. We have built an exceptional, international senior talent pool through our differentiated, network-based approach and focus on investing in long-term relationships. In addition to executive search, we host frequent invite-only networking events. These bring together high-profile digital/technology investors, entrepreneurs and executives and can be any size from breakfast roundtables to larger events with well known guest speakers and panels. We work with a wide range of fascinating businesses, UK and international, going through growth or transformation. These range from venture capital-backed start-ups/SMEs to mid-sized private equity-backed or AIM-listed companies and on to leading global corporates: both pure-plays as well as traditional businesses. We have worked in a wide range of sub-sectors including ecommerce/retail, publishing/media, dating, gaming, music, classifieds, search, advertising/marketing, SAAS, hosting, video, financial services, local, mobile, social, gambling, gaming and augmented reality. Up typically builds the senior management teams across all functions; hence placements have included CEO, COO, CFO, CTO, CMO, CPO, CCO as well as VPs/Directors of Marketing, Business Development, Product, Technology, Finance, Operations and Strategy. Given our relationships with a wide range of international VC and PE firms, we also have helped build their investment teams. We are passionate about continually building our global digital/online talent network and adding value to the eco-system, so please do get in touch if you feel we could be of help. Show less
