Asia Pacific Managing Director for Global Direct Investment Firm A world leading Direct Investment group wanted to bring on board a highly skilled leader to drive the firm’s Asia growth and to dominate the region. Salzer Consulting was engaged to find an individual who not only had a blue chip track record of successes in origination, execution and portfolio management, but who was also a team player with language skills to deliver across the region. Process There was significant pressure to deliver in a rapid fashion whilst maintaining a very high degree of confidentiality. This person had to be “the best in Asia ”, consequently, the search was conducted simultaneously in Hong Kong, Tokyo, Beijing, Singapore and Sydney, as well as in key locations in Europe and the USA. Specific Skill Sets Origination of deals was a key facet in that it was necessary for the appointee to think both creatively and practically in spotting realistic opportunities that the market had missed. The appointee had to have a strong history in executing cross-border deals and effectively managing a complex multicultural portfolio. This was a critical issue for a firm of this size and calibre that was looking to aggressively expand its well-established Asia footprint. Complex Negotiations Managing the appointee’s exit from his previous role and his subsequent placement with the client was especially time-consuming due to various intricate issues, including carried interest, salary and bonuses. Outcome After an exhaustive global search, the candidate was successfully extracted and placed into the firm where he has performed well above expectations.
