Our executive search solution
The search we undertook reflected the scope and importance of the role. We launched a comprehensive, Asia Pacific-wide executive search, mapping the landscape extensively across the agribusiness sector and adjacent industries. Our approach combined deep market intelligence, rigorous research, and a proactive headhunting campaign, leveraging both our regional network and targeted outreach through LinkedIn and direct channels. We cast a deliberately wide net to ensure we weren’t just identifying candidates who met the brief, but those who could elevate it.
After thorough market mapping and evaluation, we presented a highly curated shortlist of five top-tier candidates. The interview process was equally rigorous, involving four rounds with Robert Half and a three-stage evaluation with the client. Two candidates were invited to the company’s offices to immerse themselves in the culture and operating environment, giving both client and candidate the opportunity to assess fit at the highest level.
Comprehensive third-party reference checks were completed for the preferred candidate, including police clearance, directorship and supervisory history, and verification of educational qualifications, prior to facilitating a successful offer and acceptance.
Client’s return on investment
The result was the appointment of a CEO who the client described as “the best they have ever seen.” Since stepping into the role, this individual has delivered immediate impact, driving diversification across both revenue and geography, refining the corporate structure, and identifying new commercial opportunities aligned with the company’s strategic vision. Under their leadership, the business is accelerating its journey toward long-term growth and value realisation.
This appointment highlights the power of a well-executed executive search: when market insight, strategic alignment, and deep sector understanding converge, transformative leadership follows.
