"A CFO search ahead of a listing has to stay quiet, but you still can't afford to slow down on diligence. Manthaan ran the search discreetly and handed us three finalists whose track records were already substantiated — audited numbers, verified tenure, the works. That let our board move fast without cutting corners on due diligence."
Rohan Mehta — Chief Executive Officer, Meridian Logistics
Ahead of a planned public listing, Meridian Logistics needed a CFO with public-markets experience — but the search had to stay confidential until a candidate was close to signed, ruling out a public job posting or an agency with a wide, leaky network.
Manthaan ran the mandate as a closed search: candidates were sourced directly and quietly from the verified talent pool, with employment history and reported financial outcomes checked against the Integrity Ledger before Meridian's board ever saw a name. Three finalists were shortlisted within two weeks, each with prior CFO or Controller tenure at listed or soon-to-list companies.
Meridian's board interviewed all three within a single week and extended an offer 26 days after the search began. The confidentiality held until the appointment was formally announced.
