Why Solgrove

I started Solgrove because I enjoy understanding how businesses work and helping founders find the leaders who will shape what comes next.Over the past 15 years, I’ve worked alongside founders, executives, and hiring leaders at companies across different stages of growth, leading searches ranging from key early hires to C-suite leaders. Every search has reinforced the same belief. Understanding the business is what makes the difference between filling a role and finding the right leader.I’m naturally curious. I ask a lot of questions because I genuinely want to understand where an organization is going, what challenges it faces, and what kind of leader will help it get there. I’ve also seen the cost of a mismatch, both for the company and the person. That’s why I believe executive search is about more than filling a role. Done thoughtfully, it strengthens teams, shapes culture, and creates opportunities for people to do meaningful work.Outside of work, I’m a husband and father of three daughters, and our three pets are very much part of the family. I’m also a regular volunteer at a local community farm. I’m happiest with family, in nature, and around people building something they genuinely care about.Ariel Finkelstein
