Rolf Towers Picton studied Japanese at Sheffield university. After beginning
his career at Schroder Investment Management Japan in fund sales in 1987, he
was head hunted to Prudential Bache Securities Japan as a US bond Salesman.

Australia.
We are committed to the concept of a small team of senior consultants. The consultant who originates the work with a Client firm will also be the one who directs the search, including the initial research. Our compensation system is set up to enhance full cooperation between consultants, so that all members of the team can contribute to every search. We also distinguish ourselves from the more typical search firm in that we all had our first careers in the financial services industry. We feel that this enhances our ability to more fully understand the needs of both our clients and our candidates. This is particularly helpful when a search progresses past the initial stages of just finding a suitable candidate.
