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.
