CEO & BOard

CEO & Board

Given the dynamism and complexity of the Asia Pacific marketplace, as well as changes in the US corporate governance paradigm, the requirements for CEOs and Board members have become much more stringent in the past decade. Corporate leaders must repeatedly outperform shareholder expectations and build value in a business climate characterized by constant change, shorter visibility and increasing scrutiny with respect to corporate governance matters, as Asia companies utilize global capital markets to fuel their growth.

Concurrently, the level of complexity and risk associated with placing executive talent is increasing. Governance concerns, as well as a need for objectivity in the recruiting processes that once relied on personal relationships for candidate sourcing, add to the need for increasingly thorough due diligence.

Meanwhile, the trend towards more global investment to Asia, both by industry and capital markets, is increasing competition for top talent, and hence qualified candidates are fewer in number, not to mention increasingly difficulty to recruit.

SES is uniquely positioned to navigate today's problematic recruiting landscape and deliver the best Board and CEO talent available. As pioneers in executive search in Asia, with two decades of executive search experience, SES partners are some of the industry's most-respected executive leadership consultants in the region. Our team maintains relationships with Board members of major Asia-based multinationals, as well as western multinational regional leadership teams. Unrestricted by the extensive off-limits agreements that constrain larger competitors, SES makes full use of this network to identify the most promising Board and CEO candidates for each assignment.
