The right leader, for exactly as long as it matters.

A senior C-suite or director-level leader who joins your business for part of the week instead of full time. In Hong Kong that can mean one executive working across a holding company and its operating subsidiaries. We search for them, vet them and match them to the brief; they make the calls in their function and answer for the outcomes.

Our engagements typically run 30 to 60% less than a comparable full-time hire at the same seniority. You pay for the senior time the work needs, invoiced company to company, with no recruitment fee for the search and none of the fixed package a permanent appointment brings. Our standard one month's notice lets you change the scope or close the engagement, and engagements typically run six to twenty-four months.

Hong Kong businesses at a turning point that need C-suite judgement before they can justify a full-time hire: family groups handing over to the next generation, holding companies tidying a spread of subsidiaries, China-facing manufacturers and traders reworking their supply base, and growth companies preparing for a listing. The common thread is a decision where the wrong leader costs more than the right one.

A consultant reports back and leaves, while an interim normally takes a full-time seat for a set period. A fractional executive takes a defined share of the week, holds decisions in their function and stays for as long as the moment lasts, judged on outcomes, not hours.

Brief to embedded typically takes two to three weeks. We search our collective of 800+, vet the fit for your group and its culture, and introduce a shortlist; you choose. We stay involved afterwards, and should the executive later leave, the new search starts with everything we already know about the group.
