Shaping Tomorrow-Taltier's Vision for a Connected World

Taltier Consulting

Our Approach to Executive Search

Taltier Consulting is built to complement your strategy — not complicate it. We aim to operate as a true extension of your team, bringing focus, energy, and professionalism to every search.

We understand that markets shift, industries evolve, and the demands on talent are constantly changing. That’s why we stay adaptable, thoughtful, and fully engaged throughout the process.

We recruit with intention — and we show up with purpose. Our goal is lasting impact, not just filling a role. Our approach is relationship-first. In consulting, timing is everything. It’s never a question of if — it’s when. It’s never “maybe” — it’s “not yet.”

We hope our values, process, and approach align with yours.

Talent Strategy — Built Around You

Taltier Consulting reflects a commitment to supporting growth through market expansion, mergers and acquisitions, and identifying leadership gaps — particularly within community and middle-market banks.

By studying each market’s geography, banking climate, and credit culture, we provide insight that helps our clients enter new territories with intention and confidence. Luke has guided organizations through successful moves into unfamiliar regions by aligning talent strategy with business goals.

In addition, Taltier offers market compensation analysis. Leveraging our real-time network and deep industry connections, we provide accurate, up-to-date compensation data to guide hiring decisions and maintain competitive positioning.

We like to say — most of the work happens before the search even starts. One clear advantage is our attention to detail and our commitment for procedural excellence.

Search Methodology

  • C-Suite / Retained Search

    Our approach to C-Suite retained searches is distinctively robust, fostering confidence through demonstrable results, transparency, and articulate communication. Our process is designed to be engaging and rewarding—we are committed to finding the right fit. As you can imagine, teamwork and clearly outlining our target are crucial for a quick turnaround and effective results.

    A typical retained—or “container”—search follows a structured timeline and process, mutually agreed upon from the start. It creates alignment, urgency, and a clear path forward.

    Our effectiveness on retained searches? It’s 100%. When we commit to a retained search, we see it through—every time.

  • Board Services / Leadership Planning / Market Expansion

    Taltier Consulting excels in forging proactive relationships with board members and executives. Our approach includes detailed intake sessions with all relevant stakeholders, thorough organizational assessments, and competitive benchmarking.

    We maintain extensive relationships from California to New York, connecting with market leaders in every region. Our expansive and active network distinguishes us in the field.

    You know the saying: When’s the best time to plant a tree? Ten years ago. The second-best time? Right now.

    The same goes for building and managing the right roster of talent—whether it’s your executive team, C-suite, or board leadership. Investing the time and resources today can save your organization significantly more time, money, and energy down the road.

    It would be our firm’s honor—and responsibility—to help shape the next generation of leadership.

  • Financial Services

    This includes Community Banking, as well as specialization in Business and Commercial Banking, Middle Market to Corporate Banking, Compliance, Treasury Management, and Commercial Real Estate.

    Our expertise also extends to non-revenue-generating and back-office functions across all commercial lines of business. This includes—but isn’t limited to—corporate compliance, risk and credit, and other areas of commercial credit support and leadership. We also bring a deep understanding of specialized industry verticals, including Fund Finance, Asset-Based Lending (ABL), Technology, Energy, and Equipment Finance.

    For prospective clients: We have experience working with financial institutions ranging from under $150 million in total assets to organizations approaching $1 trillion—with the bulk of our work centered around privately held and publicly traded institutions in the $1 billion to $50 billion asset range. Regardless of size, our approach remains the same: strategic, informed, and relationship-driven.

  • Legal Services

    Our extensive experience in executive search and financial services has generated a strong referral network within law firms. Taltier's meticulous, process-driven search is crucial for law firms aiming to make significant hires. We prioritize confidentiality and contractual obligations, ensuring a secure environment for exploring new opportunities or expanding teams.

  • Private Banking / Financial Advisors:

    While closely aligned with commercial banking, private banking deserves its own distinction. Taltier Consulting has deep national connections within the private banking space, covering all areas of wealth management—both client-facing and back-office functions. Our thorough, relationship-driven approach has led to consistent success in recruiting top-tier financial advisors, licensed private client advisors, private bankers, and private banking client managers.

    At Taltier Consulting, we're proud to lead with creative, results-driven strategies that support long-term growth. We welcome the opportunity to explore meaningful collaborations and help shape the future of your organization.
