— 01 · About

A specialist partner in financial services leadership.

Built around three principles — the same standard on every mandate. We work exclusively. Every engagement is a dedicated partnership, never a transaction.

01

Specialist.

Exclusively financial services — asset and wealth management, alternatives and private markets, institutional investors, and banking and capital markets. We do not run generalist, cross-sector, or opportunistic searches.

02

Principal-led.

Every mandate is led by a consultant with a decade of sector experience. From brief through placement — no handoffs, no junior account management. One decision-maker throughout.

03

Asia Pacific.

Regional focus with local market depth across Asia Pacific financial centres — and a deliberate phased expansion into Japan, South Korea and beyond.

— 02 · Sectors

Four disciplines. One conviction.

We concentrate our practice on the firms whose returns depend on the quality of the people they hire.

01

Asset & Wealth Management.

Long-only, multi-asset, traditional active and passive — plus private banks, family offices and HNW advisory. Investment, distribution, product and operating leadership.

02

Alternatives & Private Markets.

Hedge funds, private equity, private credit, infrastructure and real assets. Partners, portfolio managers, deal leads, fundraising and investor relations.

03

Institutional Investors.

Super funds, sovereign wealth, pension funds and insurance investment teams. CIOs, deputy CIOs, asset-class heads and heads of internalisation.

04

Banking & Capital Markets.

Investment banking, M&A advisory, ECM, DCM and corporate broking. Coverage MDs, sector heads and capital markets origination leads.

— 03 · Process

A five-stage process, delivered by a principal.

Typical retained search: 4–6 weeks to shortlist, 8–12 weeks to placement. Every stage is run by the principal — no handoff to junior researchers at any point in the search.

01

Discovery.

Role design, stakeholder map and brief sign-off.

02

Research.

Original market mapping and targeted outreach.

03

Shortlist.

Structured assessment and calibrated shortlist.

04

Selection.

References, offer negotiation and acceptance.

05

Guarantee.

Onboarding support and replacement guarantee.

Full original market mapping on every retained search — no database reactivation, no pre-shortlisted candidates looking at other roles.

Managing Partner & Founder
Executive Search Financial Services Asia Pacific

Jack founded APAC Executive Partners on the belief that people are your greatest asset — and that finding the right leaders defines performance.

A decade of executive search experience in financial services, covering investment, wealth and institutional mandates across Asia Pacific. Every APAC engagement is led by him — from brief to placement.

The proposition is deliberately narrow. Every mandate is led end-to-end by the principal. There is no handoff to researchers or junior consultants. The client deals with one decision-maker throughout the search lifecycle.
