Acquisitions Research
IntelliSight provides clients in depth research on target acquisitions and their leadership teams by utilizing our proprietary Human Diligence research process. Through a 360-degree examination of leadership, we offer our clients key insights that often make or break their investment decisions.

Key elements include:
Analyzing the success of individual leaders
Identifying hidden issues to mitigate risk
Discovering unique business insights
Providing clients a jump-start on operational improvement imperatives
IntelliSight provides detailed insights necessary to make critical decisions regarding acquisitions—delivering nimble business intelligence unlike any offered by large consulting firms.
“You have honesty of purpose and a finesse I have never seen in this process. You were brilliant in the way you approach the task at hand.”
“I was introduced to Suzanne Kelly about two years ago and have used her exclusively since that first assignment. I have found her responsive, very tuned into our needs and extremely capable of extracting useful information on candidates in a way which enables us to make very informed hiring decisions.”
— Chairman of Portfolio Company, Hong Kong
C-Suite Referencing
Companies don’t make money—people do—and success in business is closely tied to successful leadership. IntelliSight goes deep into the backgrounds of executives to find out how they make decisions—and why. We retrieve the data firms need to successfully assess the ability of executives to lead and succeed in good times and bad.
Our methodology involves a systematic investigation of C-Suite leaders by utilizing highly targeted but open-ended questions to discover how they think and act. We learn what makes them tick, how they handle adversity as well as success, and what their direct reports and peers think of them and their leadership style.
Should you decide to replace an individual, we follow the same approach with new hires, ensuring that those individuals under consideration are thoroughly vetted and the best available fit for the future success of the organization.
“I’ve never seen anyone do dialogue like you. I’ve given hundreds of references and you are a class apart—quite exceptional.”
“Suzanne has the knack to get some of the busiest and most senior people to talk to her and provide an unvarnished view of the candidates we are planning to hire. Suzanne was able to surface material issues that did not come up anywhere else and follow them up. Through her insights, we have been able to make better hiring decisions and de-risk some of our critical hires.”

Strategic Consulting
We understand that to build a profitable business the right leadership team needs to be in place to steer the ship and avoid icebergs. But it’s more than just a conflict of interest to have a search firm do referencing—it could be fatal to the future prospects of the firm.
IntelliSight’s strategic consulting service provides you with the guidance and blueprint to enable you to build a deep bench of fully-vetted innovative leaders. From your first to last hire, we advise on how to meet your firm’s needs and can map out a strategy specifically designed for your company to succeed. Over the years we have helped some of the smartest business leaders in the financial space select and retain top talent.
There’s a reason why our clients come back to us time and time again.
“The questions you were asking were so important. They were so right. You are redefining the rules of the game and filling out that shortcoming.”
“Suzanne provided highly targeted, insightful, and actionable commentary with a high degree of rigor on not one but multiple candidates across roles, geographies and on an expedited timeline, all without compromising on quality. Her insights go beyond just whether to extend an offer to include ideas about how to on board, set objectives and effectively manage the individual. In another instance her information ultimately saved us from making a bad hire and was later validated. The work Suzanne does is essential for anyone looking to de-risk a senior level hire.”
