Pedersen & Partners expands international footprint, opens office in London

London, United Kingdom - July 1, 2011 - Pedersen & Partners, a leading international executive search firm with 44 wholly owned offices in 41 countries has  established office in the United Kingdom.

Ulrik Rasmussen, Partner in charge of Western Europe, will be leading the operations of the new Pedersen & Partners’ London office. With broad international coverage, the firm provides its clients with access to a global pool of high-calibre executives and the cross-sector expertise of its Consultants.

Mr Rasmussen comments on the event: “Establishing the presence in London is a logical step in our growth strategy as many of the clients that operate in the markets where we have presence – Europe, Middle East, Africa and India – are headquartered in the UK. Thus, they benefit from our regional presence and ability to manage their strategic recruitment projects through one centralised point, while we have the possibility to establish closer ties with them and identify new business opportunities. 

In addition to Ulrik Rasmussen, the London team consists of Chris Neale, Principal and Jason Lockyer, Consultant.

  • Chris Neale has over fifteen years of experience in the Executive Search industry. In the course of his career he has recruited global CIOs for a number of FTSE companies, as well as key functions, such as Managing Directors, CFOs, VP Sales for established technology suppliers and VC-backed innovators. Mr Neale’s cross sector experience includes industrial, consumer products, retail and media. He has worked on search projects across Western Europe, USA, Hungary, Austria, Russia and Kazakhstan.
  • Jason Lockyer brings extensive experience from the executive recruitment industry in the United Kingdom having worked as a Consultant with international recruitment firms since 2002. Before joining Pedersen & Partners he was a Consultant at Alpha Financial Markets Limited, specialising in the Investment Banking and Asset Management industry in Europe, CEE and MEA regions.
