Global Executive Search

Global Markets

Leadership for markets that never close

Electronic execution is redrawing market structure. Liquidity is fragmenting across venues. Non-bank market makers now compete head to head with global banks.

In this market, risk-taking talent is scarce and fiercely contested. We find the leaders who generate revenue and know how to protect it.

Our Global Markets practice, deepened by the acquisition of The Omerta Group, places traders, salespeople, structurers and business heads across fixed income, foreign exchange and equities, on both the buy side and the sell side.

How we help clients win

Our Global Markets practice serves global and regional investment banks, hedge funds, asset managers, insurers, brokers, exchanges, trading venues and fintech firms. We recruit across the front office, from sales, trading and structuring to research and portfolio management, as well as the quantitative, electronic and market-making specialists and the desk, product and regional heads who lead them.

Our coverage brings fixed income, foreign exchange and equities under one roof, spanning credit, rates, emerging markets, derivatives, delta one, prime services and financing. With consultants in London, New York and Hong Kong and dedicated research behind every search, we give clients a clear view of the talent that matters most, wherever it sits.
