Executive Search Case Study

Halsey Keetch - Executive Search Case StudyOur client is the London-based, UK-regulated subsidiary of a Japan-headquartered global corporate and investment banking group.

The Challenge

With one of our longest-established global banking clients facing considerable scrutiny due to fast-evolving regulation, whilst dealing with the unexpected departure of the previous incumbent and other issues created by the Brexit planning process, implementation of MiFID II, and approaching introduction of the Senior Managers and Certification Regime, we were entrusted with running an accelerated but thorough search to find a Managing Director-level compliance professional with broad corporate and investment banking compliance leadership experience.

The Solution

Thanks to our market knowledge and network in this niche leadership space, we were able to quickly undertake a thorough research and engagement process covering large and mid-size banking organisations and similar and ultimately placed a highly reputable compliance expert with nearly three decades’ experience.

The Outcome

Our placed candidate has capably set the agenda since joining, reinvigorating the team, building strong relations with the regional Executive Committee and Board of Directors, resolving all pressing issues and exceeding weighty regulatory expectations.
