Tatiana Russo
Partner | Venture Capital & Private Equity | B2B SaaS
Tatiana Russo is a Partner specialising in executive search across Venture Capital & Private Equity, FinTech & Payments, and B2B SaaS — with a particular focus on growth leadership for VC-backed startups and scaleups in DACH and across Europe.
Having spent over four years as Executive Director of Talent Advisory at Cherry Ventures, she brings a rare inside-the-fund perspective to leadership hiring: she knows what VC and PE firms need from their own people, and what it takes to find them.
At Key Search, Tatiana focuses on two pillars: fund-side hires — Operating Partners, Heads of Platform, Principals, and Investor Relations leaders — and senior growth leadership for VC-backed B2B SaaS and FinTech companies scaling across Europe.
