The quality of due diligence depends on who is doing the research. At Cairn, that means seasoned investigators — not junior analysts or AI agents that read from scripts.
Our team began their careers as investigative journalists at Bloomberg and Reuters, where they broke stories from bureaus in North America, Europe, Asia and South America. They know how to find the best sources, earn their trust, and unlock the details that change narratives.
After journalism, our researchers built careers in due diligence — vetting companies and executives on behalf of the world’s largest private equity firms, hedge funds, and institutional investors. Our work is global and includes a wide range of industries from technology and financial services to healthcare, industrials, and consumer. We’ve assessed thousands of companies, CEOs, C-suite executives, and board candidates for clients seeking investment opportunities, pre-hire screening, and post-acquisition leadership evaluations.
