Consulting service to assist professionals transition from working in the United States to the

United Kingdom

30 Years of Experience. Two Continents. One Seamless Transition

Several years ago, I sat exactly where you are sitting. I had a successful career in the UK, but I saw a horizon in the US that I needed to reach. I made the move.  I navigated the M&A world of working for a NYSE public company; became the President of a Technology company, and have spent two decades building ConnecticsSearch Associates  to identify not just the best talent, but the "right" talent for each client company, having gained a stellar reputation amongst all the client companies we have made placements for.

The Tide is Turning!

The UK—specifically the, Technology sector—is hungry for the "Scale-up DNA" that only US-based professionals possess. But the "Pond" is wider than it looks. A US "VP of Sales" speaks a different language than a London-based "Chief Commercial Officer."   A VP in the US would hold the title of Director in the UK as a further example.  A Silicon Valley equity package looks nothing like a City of London Enterprise Management Incentive scheme.

I founded Atlantic Bridge Talent Advisory because high-level professionals shouldn't have to "guess" their way into the world's most sophisticated financial and technology hubs which need professionals with the expertise they can bring to the table.

The Core Problem - Transatlantic Gap

Moving a career across the Atlantic isn't just about a plane ticket; it’s about navigating both professional and cultural differences:

• The Network Gap: Lack of local "warm" introductions in the London/UK ecosystem, including introductions to immigration attorneys
• The Cultural Nuance: Different interview styles, compensation structures (pensions/equity), leadership expectations, and terminology
• The Logistics Maze: Understanding the Tier 1/Global Talent Visa landscape and obtaining corporate sponsorship
