Options Group Launches New Office in Zurich
Options Group, a leading global executive search and strategic consulting firm, announces the opening of its Zurich office to meet the growing demand for services in the EMEA region. Director Simi Rehani will lead the effort and focus on the region’s vast private banking businesses.
“The firm continues to expand its presence in developed markets such as Zurich to meet a growing demand for real-time market intelligence globally from clients,” says Options Group CEO Michael Karp.
“We are glad that Simi has agreed to join us since she has a great background, track record and established network in the industry,” says Ike Suri, Options Group’s CFO and Co-COO. “It is an opportune time for Options Group to open an office in Zurich not only due to the tremendous prospects in private banking and asset management but the rise in hedge funds moving to there from London due to lower tax burdens.”
The Firm has fulfilled client needs in Zurich out of London, Dubai and New York.
“We already are working on numerous strategic initiatives with established local and multinational companies to capitalize on the demands of similar global clients,” says Options Group Managing Partner David Korn, who oversees the firm’s EMEA business.
Our mission in the EMEA region is to service our client’s needs in not only emerging markets such as Singapore and Dubai, but in mature money centers such as Zurich as well.” Options Group, which is headquartered in New York, also has offices in London, Hong Kong, Newport Beach, San Francisco, São Paulo, Dubai, Mumbai, Shanghai, Singapore, Sydney and Tokyo. In conjunction with the office opening, Rehani joins Options Group Zurich as a Director responsible for the launch and build-out of the Firm’s office.
