Allura Partners

Allura Partners is a trusted leader in executive search, recruitment, and business transformation. Our approach goes beyond filling executive positions; we assemble high-performing teams that drive success in dynamic, fast-paced environments across Accounting & Finance, Transformation & Change and Technology & Digital. Founded in 2017, we began by focusing on supporting private equity firms in scaling their portfolio companies through C-suite placements. Once placed, these executives then looked to us to build out the high-performing teams they needed to drive results. It wasn’t long before we attracted the attention of some of Australia’s largest ASX-listed and private enterprises, all seeking a partner who could bring game-changing talent and build the right teams to deliver transformative outcomes.

Last week, Allura Partners, led by Jake Rose and George Lin, had the pleasure of hosting a CIO Networking Dinner in Sydney. The event brought together a group of technology leaders for an open discussion on shadow AI, ransomware, regulatory changes, and board-level cyber priorities.   A big thank you to Kate Healy from Empowered Cyber for facilitating the discussion and sharing her expertise. It was an honour to hear from Kate, who was recently named Australia’s Most Outstanding in IT Security at the Australian Women in Security Awards.   The room was filled with valuable insights and real-world experiences. The conversation sparked debate on how organisations structure their security leadership: Do you need a CISO, or can cyber risk be effectively managed without one? To all who attended, thank you for making it a night of great conversation. We look forward to the next one! #CIO #NetworkingEvent #CyberSecurity #CISO

Over the past six months, we've seen a significant resurgence in business transformation initiatives. This momentum is driven mainly by financial institutions reigniting their transformation programs, setting the stage for even more activity in 2025. Key priorities include SAP implementations, risk and regulatory programs, finance transformations, and ERP/CRM rollouts. With this comes rewarding career opportunities for experienced delivery specialists who can navigate these complex initiatives. Feedback from our clients and our interactions highlight that even senior-level candidates find it challenging to articulate their methodology for project or program delivery clearly.

Jake Rose's career at Allura Partners began with a risk, joining during the uncertainty of the pandemic. Nearly five years later, he’s built a leading Technology & Digital division spanning Software Engineering, Data, Cloud, DevOps, and Cyber Security. Now, with his well-earned promotion to Associate Director, he’s continuing to focus on expanding our team, placing top technology executives, and helping them build high-performing teams that drive success. This top-down approach, a hallmark of Allura Partners across all divisions, is what sets us apart. Looking ahead, the market is showing encouraging signs of improvement, and staying ahead of technology trends is key. Jake explains, “We have a lot of conversations with executives around technology trends and where workforce planning is headed, and so we’re ahead of the curve in terms of how we approach our go-to-market.” Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gyZAQE4Y #Leadership #Hiring #Technology
