Identifying and placing the next generation of agency leadership across Asia Pacific.
Executive search sits at the core of Tripitakka’s work. Over the past 25 years I have worked across the creative, media and marketing ecosystem throughout Asia Pacific, building long term relationships with leaders across the region.
During that time I have successfully placed senior leaders across most major markets in Asia including Singapore, China, Australia, Japan, Thailand, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia and India.
This regional experience allows Tripitakka to support organisations in identifying and placing leadership talent across complex and diverse markets.
Regional leadership placements
Types of leadership roles
Most search assignments focus on senior leadership roles across the agency and marketing ecosystem. These include positions such as:
Regional leadership roles across Asia Pacific
Regional client leadership roles
Country CEOs and managing directors
Digital and transformation leaders
Heads of strategy and planning
Capability and growth leaders
In addition to front office leadership roles, I have also worked extensively with organisations on senior operational and back office leadership roles including production, finance, human resources and talent acquisition.
Leadership assessment
Executive search at the senior level often requires deeper leadership assessment in addition to identifying candidates.
Where appropriate, I also work with organisations to assess leadership style, motivations and team dynamics using psychological frameworks and assessment tools. These can include leadership frameworks such as the Enneagram, which can help provide additional perspective on leadership behaviour, decision making and team interaction.
This approach allows organisations to better understand how candidates may operate within leadership teams and organisational culture.
Industry network
Search approach
Executive search is not simply about identifying candidates. It is about understanding the organisation, the leadership context and the future direction of the business.
Search assignments typically involve market mapping, leadership assessment and confidential engagement with senior leaders across the industry. The goal is to identify individuals who not only have the right experience but who can help shape the future of the organisation.
Because of the advisory and coaching work that sits alongside search, the process often extends beyond the placement itself, supporting both organisations and leaders through transition and integration.
