Agreus Group, the Family Office recruitment partner which has been operating across the UK, USA, Europe and Middle East for more than 12 years has officially moved into Asia.
The Family Office recruiter has hired Pierre Pineau to lead their Singapore Operations as more and more global Family Offices look for a new home in Singapore.
Singapore has steadily become one of the most popular jurisdictions for Family Offices with political stability, a high standard of living and various tax incentives attracting UHNW Families from the rest of the world.
Co-Founder of Agreus Group, Tayyab Mohamed said: “This is an exciting time for Agreus as we establish a presence in Singapore. The sheer demand for Family Office professionals in Singapore has provided an incredible opportunity to work with global Family Offices.
“Singapore is a well-established country with a strategic location, stable economy, balanced political system and robust regulatory framework. It has a well-regulated financial centre, a selection of trust and corporate services providers and the simplicity of a shared language.”
Paul Westall, also Co-Founder of Agreus Group added: “Singapore is a playground for the rich and wealthy with good governance, ample opportunity and a cosmopolitan lifestyle but while the Garden City rises in popularity, its talent pool is shrinking at an alarming rate.
“The proliferation of Single and Multi-Family Offices establishing in Singapore is certainly furthering the strain on the local talent pool which is why it has never been more important to seek the help of a specialist recruiter.”
Agreus Group has hired Pierre Pineau to lead their new Singapore operations. After spending more than a decade as a recruitment leader in the investment management, private banking and financial sectors, Pierre joins the recruitment consultancy this quarter to serve Family Offices across the Asia-Pacific in finding their perfect hire.
Pierre said: “With an immense knowledge of both the Family Office world and the Singaporean culture, we can offer Family Offices a tailored and bespoke solution which unlike others isn’t focused on specialism or industry but rather tailored to each Family Office. After all, every family is different so why should your Family Office work in any other way? I am beyond excited to join the group in this growth stage and start working with the hundreds of wealthy families beginning to call Singapore home.”
Agreus Group is a full-service resourcing and recruitment consultancy dedicated to working with Family Offices throughout the world. Since founding more than a decade ago, Agreus Group has become an established presence across the US, UK, Europe, Middle East and now, Asia.
