Hunter Murray
Partner, Technology/Tech-Enabled Services
Hunter focuses on organizing and building high-performing leadership teams and boards. He is naturally compelled to identify deeply with clients and act as their trusted advisor while sharing their stories in the market. Hunter embraces the role of clarifying and shaping the leadership team’s mission and ultimate desired outcomes before endeavoring to court the requisite leaders.
Over nearly three decades, Hunter’s fascination with all facets of technology and experience with product and services companies has equipped him to be the ideal senior talent advisor to companies that leverage innovative tech to solve the world’s most challenging problems. While he has broad experience in both commercial and public sectors, clients often call him to bridge the gap between these two markets. He has completed hundreds of executive search assignments for public, private, and private equity-sponsored companies. More recently, he has focused on board, CEO, and broader C-suite assignments.
Hunter is an experienced investor in private equity as an LP and is part of the NorthWind Investments team. His experience as an investor combined with his executive and board search expertise enables him to closely relate and align with the GP and CEO objectives to achieve optimal outcomes. Before co-founding NorthWind, Hunter also co-founded a West Coast, VC-funded search firm focused on building senior leadership teams for technology product and services companies.
Outside of Northwind Partners, Hunter invests his time coaching and mentoring other leaders. His desire and goals are to help them reach their full potential, so they can attract and develop the next generation of leaders in their organizations. He currently serves on the board for BEE World, an organization focused on equipping and training pastors and leaders globally. Hunter and his family are involved with organizations focused on helping families and children thrive. He enjoys adventure, fly fishing, snow skiing, and traveling with his family. Hunter and his family live in Franklin, TN.
