Riverhouse Partners

Riverhouse Partners is a dedicated global financial services executive search firm. From our London head office, client activity spans both the developed global financial markets of EMEA, USA, Asia Pacific and the emerging financial markets of Russia/CIS, MENA and LatAm. As the financial services industry in emerging markets is more and more integrally linked with developed global markets, our expertise across all geographies gives us invaluable insight into where they meet and where they differ.

Riverhouse Partners was established by John Burr and Taru Oksman–Ison who were previously Partners at Principal Search. They ran the firm’s Global Capital Markets and Investment Banking businesses across developed and emerging markets respectively, helping to build the firm into the number one executive search boutique in financial services in 2008, 2009 and 2010.

Riverhouse Partners works with a small number of high quality investment banks, private equity firms, hedge funds and asset managers. We have an entirely solution driven approach. This allows us to comprehensively understand not only the culture and organisational structure of our clients, but also to gain a balanced perspective on their strengths and weaknesses. It also means we are free from potential client conflicts of interest and the challenges of numerous off limits restrictions.

Industry knowledge, speed, accuracy, professionalism, integrity and frequent, transparent communication, both with line managers and HR professionals, form the core of our business.
