I have an announcement to make... 

I am delighted to announce that I’ve completed a management buyout that will see me take full control of MCG Talent - Asia.

I joined MCG back in 2021 in our Dubai office and moved to Hong Kong earlier this year to take over operations in Asia. 

It's been a crazy ride but ultimately a phenomenal experience on both a personal and professional level and I am so excited for what's next. 

I am extremely proud to have ended up with my name against a business that over the past three months has won and delivered on mandates in Japan, Korea, the UAE, Hong Kong, Singapore, China, Australia and Malaysia. 

From our side, it's business as usual: same brand, same commitment to delivering a high-level of Recruitment to our clients across APAC.  

For you guys reading the Newsletter, it means a revamped approach and lots more content and information to come.

We’re talking:

↳ Interviews with leading HR and Talent representatives in Asia

↳ Weekly summaries of the market

↳ All of our live and newly onboarded roles across APAC

↳ Early access to our marketing promo

We want to make this the ultimate one-stop shop for anyone looking to get ahead in their career and find out what’s going on in the markets we operate.

Watch this space…

In the meantime, here’s our priority roles for the week 😎
