Services

• Executive Search: Through our people-centric approach, we identify and recruit market-leading executives to help you build a high-functioning team and optimize performance. Our consultants use a proven methodology that combines deep client needs analysis with psychological assessment tools, ensuring we match the right person to the correct position. We lead assignments across a wide range of roles, from executive and C-suite positions to functional specialist roles in finance, sales, marketing, operations, human resources, and technology.
• Interim & Fractional Leadership: When an executive leaves a position or a critical project is underway, it is essential to secure an interim resource to ensure business continuity. We provide rapid access to high-impact executives who can parachute into your organization to guide decision-making, transform an operation, or bridge a gap following a departure. For growing businesses that require high-level expertise but do not have the budget for a full-time role, we offer Fractional CFO and CHRO solutions to provide on-demand strategic support.
• Human Capital Advisory: We help organizations re-imagine and execute the human capital elements that support their strategic goals. Our team provides best-practice advice on complex issues, including designing human capital strategies, developing retention plans, and aligning compensation frameworks with company goals. We also offer organizational design services to support effective delivery and executive coaching to help leaders develop the advanced leadership capabilities required to engage and inspire teams.

GlassRatner also provides corporate finance services, as well as financial, business, and restructuring advisory services.

Our Approach

Connecting High Impact Talent to Growing Organizations

Behind every decision and transaction, human factors are at play. We know that the success of any business is ultimately measured by its financial performance; however, it’s really your people who fuel and manage your business to deliver your vision.

• As search professionals and human capital advisors, we engage where strategy meets search; we are not transactional and see ourselves as an extension of our clients’ executive teams and ambassadors of their employer brand.
• We have a strong sense of purpose behind everything that we do. We take the time to deeply understand our clients and their businesses, and what it takes to identify and attract talent with the right fit and capabilities. We work in partnership with our clients to build their leadership teams, and we support the career journeys of our candidate community.
• Our close-knit team is a diverse group with different skill sets and professional backgrounds, focused on building relationships with candidates and finding exceptional people for our clients.
• We are always looking for opportunities to shape and create conversations. We spot trends and recognize best practices, sharing our insights into the market. You'll find that we are always transparent, determined to succeed, and creative in our approach.

Making business work better, together. ™

Market Insights in Los Angeles, California

• Private Equity's "Operational Value" Pivot: California's middle-market deal flow is accelerating as firms deploy a record backlog of capital. With over $1 trillion in unspent capital estimated across the U.S., PE sponsors are moving into Los Angeles’ diverse industrial and business services sectors to unlock liquidity. The mandate for portfolio leadership has shifted; investors are actively recruiting "operator-executives" capable of driving immediate margin improvement through AI integration and digital transformation to justify higher valuations.
• The Rise of Life Sciences: Los Angeles is emerging as a preferred destination for high-growth, mid-sized biotech firms seeking capital efficiency. Recent real estate analysis indicates that Los Angeles is capturing increased investment deal flow specifically because of favorable pricing discounts relative to primary markets (Avison Young, 2026). This influx is driving recruitment for "scaling" leadership—executives who can transition startups from R&D incubation into commercialization phases while managing burn rates more conservatively than their Silicon Valley counterparts.
• Navigating Corporate Debt: As a significant volume of corporate debt issued during the low-interest era comes due in 2026, companies in Los Angeles are facing complex refinancing challenges. This "maturity wall" is triggering a specific demand for financial leadership with profound restructuring and capital markets experience. Organizations are seeking CFOs and treasurers who can not only secure refinancing in a tighter credit environment but also strategically manage balance sheets to preserve operational agility during this critical transition period (S&P Global, 2026).
