Technology Executive Group

What Technology Executive Group does

Technology Executive Group, operating commercially as TEG Consulting, is a privately held executive search and talent solutions consultancy founded in 1995 and headquartered in Mount Laurel, New Jersey. The firm is structured around three core service lines: Management Search (placing C-suite, VP, and director-level executives), Management Assessment (evaluating candidates using validated tools and practices), and Project Recruitment (flexible, project-based hiring support). TEG concentrates its practice across three vertical sectors — Healthcare & Life Sciences, Private Equity, and Technology (with an explicit Software & SaaS focus) — and additionally serves functional mandates in Corporate & Finance, Cyber, Diversity, Operations, Sales & Marketing, and Technology.

The company's revenue model is professional services-based, generating fees through retained executive search engagements, management assessment projects, and project-based recruitment work; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Distribution is direct and senior-consultant-led: enterprise clients engage TEG via website inquiries, phone, or email, with engagements handled by the consulting team rather than through a self-serve platform. The firm operates within The Acertitude Group, a strategic network that also includes Acertitude (board and C-level search) and O'Neill Consulting (industrial sector focus), giving TEG referral access to broader mandates while remaining focused on upper- and middle-management search within its verticals.

TEG is a small firm (11–50 employees), founder-led by Rick DeRose with Shinemon Akiyama listed as Owner, and reports a Net Promoter Score of +100 with a 9.6/10 client satisfaction rating on placement quality. The company has no disclosed funding, operates without institutional investment, and does not maintain a proprietary technology product or AI-driven sourcing platform — its competitive positioning rests on consultant expertise, sector specialization, and the operational leverage provided by the Acertitude Group ecosystem.
