Executive Search Firm Hires Wealth Management Vet To Spearhead US Operations

Sheffield Haworth, the global financial consultants and executive search firm, is intensifying its focus on wealth management in the Americas with the addition of Jane Swan as managing director.

Sheffield Haworth, the global financial consultants and
executive search firm, is intensifying its focus on the wealth management sector in the Americas
with the addition of Jane Swan as managing director.

Swan joins Sujan Melwani who transferred from Sheffield Haworth's Hong Kong
practice to New York
earlier this year; the firm said it will continue to strengthen its team in
the US.

Swan has extensive experience across the financial services
industry including in the areas of investment management, wealth management, consumer and
commercial banking, securities exchanges, insurance, investment banking and
private equity.

Most recently, she was a senior client partner within
Korn/Ferry’s global financial services practice, where she was a founding
member of the firm’s wealth management practice. Before that, she spent 13 years with Heidrick &
Struggles as part of the global financial services division,
ultimately becoming co-head of the wealth management practice.

In January, Sheffield Haworth acquired international wealth
management recruitment firm Gibson Tullberg, a decade-old business with offices in
London, Geneva and Singapore. Tim Sheffield, chief executive of Sheffield Haworth, said at the time that the deal was a critical
step in expanding the firm's private wealth coverage.

Sheffield
Haworth has offices in New York, Boston, Chicago, London, Dubai, Delhi, Mumbai, Hong Kong, Singapore and Sydney.
