Talent that
sticks.
We partner with financial services firms and mission-driven organizations to identify, assess, and secure leaders who move your work forward — not just fill a seat.
Two letters. One standard.
CV stands for more than the résumé on your desk. It's the discipline we bring to every search.
Clarity before search
Before we dig for talent, we partner with you to build a clear picture of what you actually need — no wasted time.
The craft we know
Yes, you'll see plenty of CVs. Evaluating them — really evaluating them — is where our work begins.
Hard work, honesty, excellence
Simple to say, harder to hold to. It's the filter every search and every candidate passes through.
Value at every step
Our network, research, and assessment save you hours of work — and get you a better answer than you'd find alone.
CV: It's Cotton-Valle. It's who we are. It's what we do.
Two sectors. One team built for both.
Over 50 years of combined financial services search experience, matched with a lifelong commitment to mission-driven work — through search, board service, and volunteering.
Financial Services
Wealth management, banking, asset management, investments, and insurance. We identify leaders who understand both the numbers and the people who trust them with their futures.
Nonprofit
Mission-driven organizations that need staffing and leadership capacity to match the size of their ambitions. We help you build the team that gets you there.
