Industrial and manufacturing companies are the largest part of our work from Singapore. Recent searches have covered chemicals, automotive and electric vehicles, semiconductors and electronics, pulp, paper and fibre, pharmaceuticals and medical devices, and aerospace components. Our clients range from family-owned groups building their first plant abroad to listed multinationals adding capacity in Asia.
Most of these searches are for the people who run the business and the site: chief executives and business-unit heads, plant and operations heads, technology and R&D leaders, and the supply chain, procurement, finance and HR leaders a new plant or a turnaround depends on. We search across South-East Asia, India, China and the Gulf, and often for leaders prepared to move to where the plant is.
Clients usually call us when a role is hard to fill: a first leader for a new country, a greenfield start-up, or a technical field with few experienced people in the region. We map the market, approach people who are not looking, and present a short list that can be compared like for like.
Who we are looking to speak with
We are currently looking to speak with leaders who have more than 10 years’ experience as:
- Plant and operations heads
- Manufacturing and engineering directors
- R&D and technology leaders
- Supply chain and procurement heads
- Business-unit and country heads
