about us

Watson Ford was created by knowledgeable professionals with backgrounds in the Executive Search and Financial Services industry. Our goal is simple – to provide the best recruitment services in the market. From pure search to market research, we provide a full range of tailor-made offerings. Our global Financial Services practice recruits top performers in several areas: Alternative Investments, Asset & Wealth Management, Real Estate, and Venture Capital & Equity Capital. Our consultants are some of the most experienced professionals in the world. They understand the financial market because they have been immersed in the industry for a number of years. In fact, many of our consultants come to us from prominent venture firms and early-stage companies.

Unlike other executive search firms, our consultants act in a true consulting capacity. This means that Watson Ford will not only help you to simply fill a position, but is also here to give you the market intelligence that you are searching for. Our executive consultants have access points in the market that our clients may not be privy to. Thus, we can provide you with a different vision of the market – one that will help you to better understand the constant evolution that occurs in financial markets. It is our goal to assist our clients in their full recruitment life cycle, not to merely help them hire a qualified individual.

More than this, our consultants are experienced citizens of the world; many of them are multilingual and multicultural, having worked or studied in different countries around the globe. It is because of this understanding of global markets that consultants at Watson Ford understand, from a first-hand perspective, the issues that confront businesses seeking to operate in the global economy on a first hand basis. Watson Ford works across the globe, from offices in both New York and London. At Watson Ford, we represent quality, knowledge, and experience in markets around the world.
