Financial Services
Montagu West's founding expertise, still central to the firm.
Actuarial Science
Montagu West operates mainly across Life, Non-Life, Health and Pensions/Investment actuarial, working with direct insurers, reinsurers, banks and actuarial consultancies. Demand in 2026 increasingly favours profiles combining traditional modelling with data skills (Python, R, SQL), AI model governance, and climate risk modelling.
Finance Strategy
Supporting finance leadership through transformation: governing agentic AI in finance processes (up to a third of enterprise applications by 2028), closer collaboration with the CIO, technology independence from major cloud vendors, and steering through a shifting regulatory and geopolitical backdrop.
Banking & Insurance
Recruitment across banking and insurance — direct insurers, reinsurers, bancassurance, mutuals, broking — spanning technical, actuarial and distribution functions, domestically and internationally.
Private Equity
Montagu West supports private equity firms and their portfolio companies in identifying senior leaders who can accelerate growth, transformation and operational value creation.
Our search capabilities cover investment and operating roles within funds, as well as leadership appointments across portfolio companies — including CEOs, CFOs, COOs, investment professionals, operating partners and senior specialists in Data & AI, digital transformation, technology, industry and operations.
By combining sector expertise with targeted international research, we identify candidates who bring not only the required functional experience, but also the pace, adaptability and ownership expected in a private equity environment.
