The firm, who hold an office in Aberdeen, has appointed Jonathan Verlander as partner and DeLynn Mitchell as principal to bolster the firm’s US presence.
Ducatus Partners claim the new appointments are in part due to ‘recovery’ in the energy market.

Mr Verlander, who has previously worked for Enterprise Oil and Shell, will support expansion within the global energy and infrastructure sectors.
Coming from Schneider Electric, Ms Mitchell will head up the firms executive search solutions, while his role will focus on developing Ducatus Partners’ leadership consulting offering.
Kevin Davidson, Ducatus Partners’ managing director, said: “Jon is a seasoned industry professional and, with his broad international experience and collegiate approach to supporting clients, is an excellent addition to the Ducatus Partners team. This coupled with the mix of skills that DeLynn adds to the team, will broaden and deepen our capability and capacity to support client goals.”
Jamie Ferguson, managing partner for the Americas, added: “We are delighted to have both Jon and DeLynn join Ducatus Partners in Houston. They will play leading roles as we continue to build our energy and infrastructure teams in the US, supporting clients with our in-depth industry knowledge and commitment to rigorous research.”
