Case Studies

We work closely with purpose-driven companies across the energy transition to solve complex talent challenges.

At Brightsmith, we help organisations shape the teams that will define their future. Our work supports lasting change — building capability, unlocking growth, and accelerating the shift to net zero. Whether scaling a business, entering new markets or evolving internal culture, we enable progress that extends far beyond individual hires.

Here’s what that looks like in practice.

  • As Tritium prepared for transformation under new ownership after the strategic acquisition by Exicom, they partnered with Brightsmith to lead a global search for a new CEO and CFO to take the helm. These two critical hires were fundamental in stabilising the business, rebuilding commercial and financial capabilities, and enabling strategic growth for the company.  

    Facing tight timelines, reputational challenges, and complex requirements, we delivered a high-transparency, multi-stage process across global time zones with the hiring team across the N. America, Europe, Asia and Australasia. We conducted market mapping of over a hundred global profiles, deep-dived consultations & assessments, and ran a rigorous, highly comprehensive interview process and managed complex negotiations. 

    We worked closely with stakeholders across Tritium and Exicom to align on role scope, leadership priorities, and cultural expectations. Through weekly steering meetings, structured evaluation tools, and candidate benchmarking we ensured equity, clarity and momentum throughout the search. Within 12 weeks, both roles were successfully filled with leaders who brought deep sector expertise, cultural alignment, and immediate commercial traction. Our approach combined energy market insights with disciplined execution and a strong focus on cultural fit. On the strength of this partnership, Brightsmith was retained for several further senior searches across the US and Europe.

    Since then, we have continued to work with Tritium to shape their evolving leadership structure and build capability in key regions. Our ability to deliver speed, precision, and trusted counsel has been instrumental in supporting Tritium’s next phase of growth under Exicom.
