Tell us a bit about yourself and your current role.
My name is Michael Lynch and I am Managing Director and Founder of Ventus, an international Executive Search and Recruitment business with HQ in Edinburgh. We are 100% renewable energy and energy transition focused recruitment consultancy, working with clients across the onshore wind, offshore wind, solar, green hydrogen, battery storage, tidal and industrial de-carbonisation sectors. Our business is backed by a Scottish recruitment focused investment group, CLAN Partners, and we have ambitious expansion plans including the pending launch of our USA office in Boston, Massachusetts in 2022.
Our team of multi-lingual consultants are engaged on assignments across the globe, working with companies who develop, design, finance, construct and operate clean energy assets. Our core service offerings are C Level / Executive Search, Permanent and Contract recruitment solutions. Our business works with some of the world’s leading Energy Super Majors and plays a key role on the front line of the Energy Transition. In addition, my final MBA project focused on the transformation strategies adopted by Energy companies in response to the global Energy Transition.
Our stated mission is to enable the energy transition by helping our clients to meet the world’s energy and climate challenges by sourcing, connecting and developing top talent globally.
