Executive search in China

Our searches in China cover commodities and trading, manufacturing and fibre, chemicals, petrochemicals and fertiliser, and newer fields such as battery storage and solar equipment. Many are for international groups with plants or trading businesses in China.

The roles include chief executives, chief operating officers and country heads, unit and plant heads, commercial and business heads, senior traders, and R&D, quality and procurement leaders.

These roles often combine running a business in China with reporting to a group head office elsewhere in Asia. Where a role needs Mandarin, the role says so. We work from Singapore with Maxima's office and partners in Shanghai.
