Executive search in Malaysia

In Malaysia we search for manufacturing, palm oil and commodities, aerospace, packaging and technology companies, and for regional roles based in Kuala Lumpur.

The roles include chief executives and group chief operating officers, sales and commercial heads, quality and regulatory heads, manufacturing and engineering leaders, sustainability heads, and traders.

Many clients use Malaysia as a manufacturing base for the region, so a number of these roles combine running Malaysian operations with a regional responsibility.
