Sheffield Haworth, the global executive search firm focused on the financial services sector, is opening its fourth US office in San Francisco, CA, to serve clients on the West Coast.

Paige Scott, who joined Sheffield Haworth in 2009 and is head of the North American asset management practice, will return to the West Coast to head the effort there while continuing to serve other clients across the US.

Last November, Sheffield Haworth intensified its focus on the wealth management sector in the Americas with the addition of Jane Swan as managing director. Swan joined Sujan Melwani who transferred from Sheffield Haworth's Hong Kong practice to New York earlier in the year.

Meanwhile, in January 2013 the firm 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.
