Securing world-class product leadership to drive global growth for a unicorn consumer app company.
Lightricks
Scaling Product Innovation
Lightricks, creators of the globally successful Facetune app, secured unicorn status through recent investment. With ambitious 10x valuation growth plans, they sought to establish their EMEA headquarters in London, making strategic product leadership hires to drive expansion.
The Challenge
Lightricks needed an exceptional product leader with experience scaling B2C apps to millions of users. The role demanded a rare combination: proven entrepreneurial spirit, hands-on product expertise, and innovative thinking that could challenge existing product development approaches within a globally successful organisation.
The Solution
We leveraged deep knowledge of the European marketplace to navigate FAANG-level companies, crafting targeted approaches to elite product talent. Our extensive search spanned the UK, Europe, and Asia, focusing on candidates from leading social and app businesses who could bring transformative leadership to London.
The Results
We delivered a shortlist featuring candidates from globally recognised technology companies. The successful placement was a former Facebook product leader with entrepreneurial experience and involvement in major product lines. The calibre of candidates so impressed the CEO that he personally reached out to all shortlisted individuals for future opportunities.
