Global Sage, the
international executive search firm, has formed a new
global wealth management and family offices team, adding two
senior
consultants in New York and Hong Kong as well
as unveiling a new office in Zurich.
John Meeks has been appointed as managing director and head of
the firm's
wealth management and family offices practice, while Geoffrey
Bevan has named a director at Global
Sage’s office in Hong Kong, covering North Asia and ASEAN private
banking.
Meeks was latterly a partner at a boutique executive search
firm, where he opened the New York
office and launched a practice dedicated to private wealth
management. He was formerly a
senior executive in private wealth management recruitment at
Goldman Sachs, working across 12 offices in the US and Latin
America.
Earlier still, Meeks was senior vice president of Latin
America for global executive
recruitment firm Randstad Professionals. There, he spearheaded
the firm's executive search practices in
Brazil, Argentina, Chile
and Mexico.
Bevan started his career working on the financial institutions
team at RBS before
moving into corporate banking at Barclays, which gave him
significant exposure to
Asian clients. Since moving to Asia, he has been responsible for
a number of senior placements and team moves within
the private wealth management space. He focuses on the
Asia-Pacific region, Global Sage
said, while his search practice is focused on relationship
managers, investment
advisory professionals and product specialists.
Meanwhile, the addition of Global Sage’s new Zurich Office
will “extend the firm’s reach into the heart of private banking
and wealth
management,” it said.
Global Sage caters to the private wealth management industry
from offices in New York, London,
Hong Kong, Tokyo, Singapore,
Jakarta, Seoul, Beijing and Johannesburg.
