Executive search firm Kinsey Allen has opened a new office in Boston. Kinsey Allen International says the office will focus initially on key hires within the asset management market and will employ five members of staff by the end of the year.
The office will be run by new hire Katie Vande Water, who joins as Director and Head of Asset Management – US. Vande Water previously worked in in-house search for Wellington Management Company LLC, Putnam Investments and spent several years with a global executive search firm. She will report into Zak Allom, Global Head of Asset Management and Managing Director of Kinsey Allen International Hong Kong.
Ken Brotherston, CEO of Kinsey Allen International says, “Boston is the command centre of investment management in the US. The city is also New England’s financial and business hub, so we see this as playing an important part in our expansion across the country. Our approach of deep functional and market knowledge - which is so rare in search consultancies - will hold us in as good stead there as it has in New York. And Katie’s excellent pedigree in asset management recruitment will play a significant part in the Boston office’s success.”
Kinsey Allen International opened a Doha office in March.
