Steven McCrindle

With more than 25 years of international executive search and leadership advisory experience, Steven works across APAC and EMEA, advising clients on board, chief executive and senior leadership appointments across some of the world's most complex and dynamic markets. A global citizen who divides his time between APAC and EMEA, he brings deep insight into leadership challenges across developed and emerging markets, helping organisations navigate growth, governance, succession and business transformation.

Over the course of his career, Steven has led leadership practices, offices and regional businesses across APAC, Japan and the Middle East, while advising many of the world's leading asset managers, wealth managers, insurers and financial institutions. He has recruited board directors, CEOs and senior executives across multiple sectors, geographies and business cycles, bringing a global perspective combined with deep expertise in APAC's diverse and rapidly evolving markets.

Before entering executive search, Steven worked within the asset and wealth management industry, providing him with first-hand commercial and investment experience. Uniquely, he began his professional career with London City Ballet in the United Kingdom, a background that has shaped a leadership style characterised by discipline, performance under pressure and a deep appreciation for individual potential—qualities he now brings to advising boards, CEOs and leadership teams around the world.
