Huntswood appoints Michael Deane to financial services recruitment team

Huntswood Search and Selection, the UK’s largest recruitment specialists for the management consultancy industry, has appointed Michael Deane to strengthen its international consultancy team. In his role as Head of Financial Services, Michael will develop Huntswood’s Search and Selection practice for management consultants in the global financial services sector.

Michael Deane joins Huntswood from Harvey Nash, where he worked exclusively with clients across the financial services sector, specialising in operational board appointments. Prior to his fourteen years in recruitment and executive search, Michael’s initial career was in asset finance.

Keith Mackenzie, Head of Operations at Huntswood Search and Selection, commented: Michael’s appointment represents a considerable strengthening of our international offering to consultancy firms looking to recruit the very best in their fields. Not only does he bring considerable skill and experience in running search and selection campaigns, but he also brings specialist knowledge in financial services and enhances our network of candidates.

Huntswood’s continuing rapid expansion in recent years has made it necessary to strengthen our teams in a range of sectors. A pick-up in the management consultancy market has led to a high demand for our search and selection services increasing our dominance in the market and this is a key factor in the growth of the business.
