Financial Services

In such an intense and pressured sector, where both risks and rewards can be so extreme, finding leaders with creativity and flair coupled with competence and intellect has long been vitally important. This is especially true in the context of the turbulent times and heightened regulatory environment facing today’s financial markets. As a result, our proprietary approach of integrating the identification of the very best candidates with a clear understanding of our client’s long-range values drivers and horizons stands to add great economic value.

Financial services is an industry of fantastic complexity and Perrett Laver has embraced this with open arms, working for a range of clients including some of the largest financial institutions in the world, as well as smaller, specialist firms, regulators, and private capital backed ventures. Our work has spanned retail FS, asset and wealth management (including hedge funds), capital markets, insurance and VC. In this sector more than any other, national boundaries are increasingly meaningless and as such we have cultivated extensive global networks that allow us to monitor the very best talent from around the world.

Executive search engagements within this sector include Chief Executives, Chief Information Officers, Chief Operating Officers and Chief Risk Officers, as well as a variety of other functional or leadership roles, ranging from consultancy to back office; from client services to legal compliance; and from human resources to finance. Our Financial Services practice in London is dedicated to building long-term partnership with our clients. In a time of dramatic and dynamic change within the financial world, we can deploy rigorous processes that consistently deliver the highest quality candidates.
