The challenge

As a new entrant to the US market with the growth expectations of a $93m Series C, Vitesse needed heavy hitters and high performers.

What Scene built

Scene partnered from inception, building the team from one employee to 19 people in 15 months across GTM, Operations, and Risk & Compliance, including a critical VP Compliance search required to secure a NY State licence to do business in the US.

The outcome

The team enabled Vitesse to establish itself in the US and drive business success. Leadership has said it's impossible to quantify the value of the people hired through Scene.

What our clients said

It's impossible to quantify the value of the people hired through Scene. They have placed some of the best hires we've ever made and we wouldn't be where we are today if it wasn't for them

Impossible to quantify value of people like Annie, Luke, Allyssa and others who are driving business success. We wouldn't be where we are today if it wasn't for them
