Big news at Nobel: we’re taking our executive search practice to the next level by welcoming Delano Brand as our new Partner. Here’s why we’re excited about this game-changing addition to our team.
Go-to-market recruiting doesn’t have to be either fast or good–it can be both
Recruiting firms often paint themselves into a corner. It feels like B2B tech companies have to choose between fast hires or quality hires. We’ve never bought into that idea, and with Delano joining us, we’re proving you can have both.
“The B2B tech industry faces a concerning pattern,” says Founding Partner Vladan Soldat. “Chief Revenue Officers stay in their roles for just 1,4 years on average. That’s a wake-up call to improve how we assess and select leaders. When companies cut corners on executive hiring, they often restart their search within months, creating more disruption and cost than if they’d invested time upfront. That’s why we focus on predicting long-term success through deeper assessment of leadership style, cultural fit, and strategic thinking. These factors ultimately determine whether an executive thrives or leaves within that crucial first year.”
Nobel Recruitment has always operated with a clear purpose: connecting B2B tech companies with exceptional go-to-market talent. Now, by welcoming Delano Brand as a Partner, we’re taking this mission to the next level. Brand brings years of Executive Search expertise, complementing Nobel’s established recruitment prowess.
The new Nobel
Delano spent the last decade finding transformative leaders for fast-growth tech companies. In the past five years alone, he co-built a successful Executive Search Boutique and placed over 70 leaders for VC and PE-backed companies across Europe, Africa, and the US.
“Every scaling company needs something different,” Delano explains. “What works for one Series A company might be completely wrong for another. That’s why we dig deep to understand what makes each company tick before we start the search.”
