About RRJ Search

Built for Consequential Appointments.

RRJ Search is an independent executive search and leadership advisory firm focused on legal, compliance, risk, governance and corporate affairs leadership across Asia.

We advise boards, CEOs and CHROs on appointments where technical credibility must be matched by sound judgement, stakeholder influence and a clear understanding of the business.

Why RRJ Search

The Brief Shapes the Search.

Two positions with the same title can require very different leaders. Sector, ownership, scale, regulatory exposure, business strategy and the maturity of the function all influence what success looks like.

RRJ was founded to bring specialist market knowledge and sustained senior attention to these appointments. We work with clients to clarify the mandate before approaching the market, creating a stronger basis for candidate identification, engagement and assessment.

Specialist depth

Selective execution

Senior ownership

We concentrate on a defined group of connected functions. This gives us a more informed view of the talent market, the demands of the role and the different ways leadership success manifests across sectors and organisations.

A deliberately limited number of mandates accepted, rather than maximum throughput.

The adviser who helps define the mandate remains closely involved through search strategy, candidate engagement, assessment, referencing and the final appointment decision.

Leadership

A seasoned private equity professional, Raphael partners with portfolio-company leadership teams to translate investment priorities into operational performance and long-term value creation. This gives him an intimate understanding of how businesses make decisions, allocate resources, navigate competing priorities and turn strategy into results.

At RRJ Search, Raphael leads the firm’s operations and business strategy. He contributes to selected mandates by bringing a seasoned commercial and investor lens to the definition of the leadership brief and the assessment of candidates.
