“We are the most strategic hire our client
may ever make. It is the management team that
makes a company successful. It’s the team and
the value we add beyond recruiting that wins
a successful exit down the road.”

- Paul deGive
- Managing Director

Because we know our clients’ business
we are able to search strategically and
add value beyond search.

For instance in Clean Technology/
Alternative Energy

Strategic Search
The deBarsy Group recruits executive and
manager talent for earlier stage venture
backed companies throughout the spectrum
of energy technology--including generation,
storage, and efficiency--water technology,
and advanced materials.

The challenge in recruiting for CleanTech is
finding executives and managers who either
have that critical combination of energy
background and entrepreneurial orientation
or bring a relevant early stage company
experience from another technology area.
Paul deGive has met that challenge and
recruited strategically in many technology
domains since the late 1980s.

Also, The deBarsy Group is pleased to
welcome aboard Michael Shane, a
serial entrepreneur, who over recent
years has become an expert in the
CleanTech space and gained
significant hands-on expertise as a
green/net zero commercial and
residential real estate developer.

Value Added
The deBarsy Group typically is domain savvy–
we understand the competitive dynamics of
a domain and they are well connected. That
means we can put early stage companies from
a particular technology area like Clean Technology
together with investors who are also savvy in that
domain. Likewise they initiate alliances between
younger companies and larger players in that space
that lead to compelling exits down the road.
