The partners you’ll work with.
Matt founded Net Zero Search after building, scaling and successfully exiting one of the largest international recruiters in green recruitment, so he leads as an operator who has built value, not only as a search partner.
With over 24 years in recruitment and 16 specialising in energy transition, he runs mandates across private equity, infrastructure funds and operating companies, working directly with GPs, deal teams and portfolio leadership on the appointments that shape value creation. His client base spans PE and late-stage VC funds and their platform companies, alongside leading businesses across the energy transition.
Harry is a Managing Partner at Net Zero Search with nearly a decade specialising in senior appointments across the energy transition. He works across investment funds, financial institutions, developers, IPPs, utilities and engineering firms, giving him a detailed read on how the sector’s leadership needs are shifting.
That breadth underpins a reputation for securing the top 1% of talent, on mandates spanning director-level roles through to C-suite and executive search. At Net Zero Search, Harry draws on that specialist knowledge and a global network to connect industry-leading professionals with the businesses driving the clean energy transition forward.
Matt is a Managing Partner at Net Zero Search. An early career as a professional rugby player led to a move into recruitment in 2005, and two decades in senior leadership search later, that competitive background still shows in how he works.
Since 2018 he has specialised in renewable energy, energy efficiency, data centers and the built environment, running director-through-C-suite mandates across the UK & Ireland and Europe. He brings nearly two decades of senior leadership search experience to bear on the people building the UK and Europe’s energy transition infrastructure.
Richard is a Managing Partner at Net Zero Search with 20 years in recruitment, 16 of them spent exclusively in power and renewables since 2009. Before joining he was Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer at a leading international renewable energy search firm, giving him an operator’s understanding of how businesses are scaled and run, not just how mandates are filled.
He leads director-through-C-suite appointments across Europe, the Middle East and North America, with a specialism in renewable energy and data centers, two sectors increasingly converging as power demand reshapes infrastructure investment.
