Michael Page (PageGroup) is a global recruitment group whose Page Executive division provides executive search and leadership talent for PE-backed and M&A-active organizations.
Michael Page was founded in London in 1976 by Michael Page and Bill McGregor as a two-person recruitment business, and has grown into PageGroup, a FTSE 250 company operating in 36-37 countries. While Michael Page itself covers professional and management-level recruitment, its Page Executive division is the part most relevant to M&A: a 350-strong global network of search principals and partners who place CEOs, CFOs, investment directors, and other senior leaders for private equity firms and high-growth, deal-active businesses across the investment lifecycle, alongside dedicated General Counsel search for M&A, compliance, and data privacy roles. The group's PageInsights platform, built on Microsoft Power BI, gives clients talent market data drawn from more than 500 million data points across 80,000+ global clients, supporting compensation benchmarking and talent-pool mapping during diligence and post-deal leadership planning.
