Ari Agency

Ari Agency runs executive search and interim or fractional placement out of Toronto, working with founder-led startups and scaleups alongside established organizations in CPG, FinTech, HealthTech, Nonprofit, Retail, SaaS, and agency environments. The mandates center on senior leadership roles spanning CEO, CDO, CFO, CGO, CHRO, CIO, CMO, COO, CPO, CRO, CTO, and CXO, placing executives who need to operate across functions like AI, digital, ecommerce, marketing and media, UX, and technology.

Digital recruitment is a stated area of expertise, with specialty coverage across ecommerce, digital marketing, product, creative and design, UX design, account and client management, data and analytics, digital media, project management, and social media roles. Searches run through a proprietary method called The A-Way, built to go beyond a standard job description by taking a 360-degree view of the hiring organization, its team, key stakeholders, and the hiring manager before identifying candidates. The intent is to match a hire to how that person will actually function within the existing team dynamics, not just to a list of qualifications.

The firm has operated for 20 years and reports more than 800 completed placements, giving it a working history across the industry mix it serves, from startup and scaleup teams building out a leadership bench to more established retail, fintech, and healthtech organizations filling senior or interim seats. That range shows up in the breadth of its stated specialties, which cover both marketing and creative functions and the data, project management, and client-facing roles that support them.
