Eastward Partners buys Press and Associates
Main article
Eastward Partners acquired fellow executive search provider Press and Associates in a deal that closed June 30.
Miami-based Press and Associates, founded by Paul Press in 2016, provides executive search for tech leadership across private equity firms, venture capital and portfolio companies.
Press has been named to equity partner at the combined firm.
“Having admired Paul’s work from afar and referring each other’s services when a specialist hire was required for our clients, the time came when it made sense to join forces,” Eastward Partners CEO Joe Carbone said in a press release. “We have a lot of commonalities among our network and both share an unrelenting drive to provide exceptional service. Our operating models are similar, and we work extremely well together, so it made sense for both parties.”
Terms of the transaction were not announced.
Press noted the acquisition will bring Press and Associates’ experience serving clients and leverage Eastward’s human capital data and analytics research.
Founded in 2015, Eastward Partners is headquartered in New York City with offices in Miami, San Diego, Chicago and London.
