Ginkgo Search Partners

Ginkgo Search Partners is a boutique executive search firm specializing in leadership hiring for international companies in China.

Founded in 2016, we support multinational corporations, internationally operating mid-sized companies, family-owned businesses, and private equity-backed organizations in identifying, assessing, and attracting senior executives and leadership talent across China.

Our core expertise is retained executive search, complemented by leadership assessment and leadership development. We work across key sectors including industrial and manufacturing, automotive, technology, life sciences, consumer, and professional services.

With deep local market knowledge and an international perspective, our consultants advise clients on critical leadership appointments ranging from General Managers, Managing Directors, and CFOs to commercial, operational, engineering, and functional leadership positions.

Our approach combines rigorous market research, direct executive search, structured assessment, and close client collaboration. Rather than simply filling positions, we seek to understand the strategic context behind each appointment—including the organization’s China strategy, leadership structure, business objectives, and the specific outcomes expected from the role.

Long-standing relationships with executives and senior professionals across Greater China provide access to leadership talent beyond the active candidate market. Throughout every assignment, we emphasize discretion, transparency, professional integrity, and a highly personalized level of senior attention.

Ginkgo Search Partners helps international companies build the leadership teams they need to succeed in China.
