About Clearhaven Partners

Clearhaven Partners is a private equity firm focused on investing in lower middle-market companies. The firm typically targets businesses with enterprise values between $10 million and $100 million, seeking to partner with management teams to drive operational improvements and growth.

The Challenge

Clearhaven Partners, a respected private equity firm, needed high-performing marketing leaders across their diverse portfolio. Each company had unique needs, but all required talent who could drive rapid, sustainable growth. Clearhaven didn’t want just resumes—they needed a strategic partner to find leaders who could build and scale.

Our Approach

David Honig stepped in with Chameleon Collective’s embedded recruiting model. More than a recruiter, he became a trusted advisor to the firm’s Managing Directors and portfolio CEOs. He worked from within—learning each company’s goals, culture, and gaps—then led a targeted search for candidates who could lead through growth and change. This wasn’t about speed; it was about precision. David's hands-on approach ensured each placement aligned with long-term business goals. His work wasn’t transactional—it was transformational. That’s why Clearhaven returned to him again and again as their go-to for critical marketing hires.

The Impact

Thanks to our embedded recruiting model, Clearhaven’s portfolio companies are no longer scrambling for leadership—they're powered by it. David’s placements have become pivotal growth architects, directly contributing to strategic goals and enterprise value. And that’s the Chameleon difference: not just hiring for today, but designing teams for tomorrow. When our work is done, our clients are stronger, self-sustaining, and ready to grow without us. That’s the transformation we’re here to lead.
