Confidential Executive Search Across APAC

Our approach

  • Direct, confidential outreach to a candidate pool most businesses can't reach on their own

  • Deep understanding of eCommerce commercial and operating models across APAC markets

  • Close involvement from brief through to offer, not a handover to a junior researcher

  • Twenty five years of placing senior leaders gives us a network built over time, not built for one search

We place senior eCommerce leaders across the APAC region, working discreetly with businesses who need the right person in the room without the market knowing a search is underway.

We work across the full commercial and operational leadership spectrum, CEOs, Managing Directors, Commercial Directors, and Operations Directors, for eCommerce businesses scaling into or already operating across APAC markets.


Who we place

  • Chief Executive Officers and Managing Directors leading regional or country operations

  • Commercial leaders, Sales and Trading Directors, Growth Directors, Chief Commercial Officers

  • Operational leaders, Operations Directors, Supply Chain and Logistics leaders, Country Managers

  • Senior hires across Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Philippines, Vietnam and wider APAC markets

Why discretion matters

At this level, a search rarely starts with a job advert. Incumbent leaders are often still in post, competitors are watching, and boards need certainty before anyone else finds out a role is open.

We run every APAC search on a confidential, direct approach basis, identifying and engaging candidates who aren't looking, rather than waiting for the right person to apply.
