Renovata was founded in London. Cribb was founded in Hamburg. Each built its reputation in a different part of the same market. Renovata worked closely with private equity and the technology businesses investors back. Cribb was rooted in tech and digital and increasingly trusted by larger organisations navigating transformation. When we came together, the rationale was straightforward. Renovata brought Cribb closer to the investor community both firms already served. Cribb gave Renovata a stronger presence in Germany and deeper access to one of Europe’s most important technology markets. But the logic was never only geographic. We work with technology and digitally native businesses: founders, operators, and investors building companies that reshape industries. We also support established organisations at inflection points, where future success depends on leadership that looks different from the past. In both cases, the question is the same: who is the right person to lead this business through what comes next? That is the question around which Renovata Cribb is built. We find exceptional leaders quickly, but never mechanically. Clients come to us because we combine pace with judgement and reach with real proximity to the businesses we advise. Our partners stay close to every mandate, every market, and the realities shaping each client’s business. With offices in London, New York, Hamburg, Munich, and Berlin, we bring the international reach complex searches demand, together with the focus, care, and senior attention that define a founder-led boutique. Boutique by design. Global in reach. Singular in purpose.
