About Excelsior
Founded in 1999 by Shawn Rutter, Excelsior Professional Search provides
excellence in
International Executive Search and Recruitment, with specialist focus and
expertise in building high performing teams for service and solution providers
to the global financial markets.
With a very specific niche expertise on financial technology companies,
establishing a strong industry reputation as a trusted business partner that
delivers on its promises has been a key objective over the past
10 years, and
one that has been achieved.
Through the application of rigorous
search processes in combination with
expert business knowledge of the financial technology sector, Shawn has
grown a team that demonstrates the value and benefits
of truly niche focused, high quality and personalised service for both clients
and candidates alike. Through the
many key
appointments made internationally, our team has pride in the
knowledge that we’ve a key role in contributing to the success and profitability
of market leading financial technology companies, whilst adding value to the
individual careers of those we’ve placed.
We appreciate that the demanding nature of business for solution
providers within the financial markets means that not only do their company
executives require the strong functional skill set and competencies required of
their role, but they tend to require a track record of operating in the same
financial domain in order to maximise their companys’ market credibility and
competitive edge.
In addition we recognise the fact that a large proportion of
solution providers are small to medium enterprises operating in a very specific
functional niche of the finance sector, but requiring international reach and
presence to sell to and service clients in the main financial centres around the
world.
Our appreciation of the nature of this niche market and proven ability to source the best available talent is why we excel in search compared to the more generalist search firms in this sector.
