Among recent developments, CTPartners opened offices in Hong Kong and Singapore as part of its expansion into Asia Pacific, and in Bogot, Caracas and Lima as part of its Latin American expansion.

Chairman and CEO Brian Sullivan commented, ìOur new name emphasizes our firmís philosophy of partnering, in the truest sense of the word, with our corporate clients, executive candidates and each other, with the objective of placing extraordinary men and women in C-Suite, board and senior executive positions.î
