United Kingdom
One of the largest Fortune 100 companies asked Victoria van der Vaart to conduct a pan-European search to find a functional General Counsel focusing exclusively on sanctions and financial crime. Reporting to the Global Head of Sanctions with a dotted reporting line to the Chief Compliance Officer, this person would be a qualified lawyer with top-tier law firm experience and diverse international sanctions expertise gained from a multinational environment.
After an extensive pan-European search, we provided our client with some of the leading sanctions experts in the UK, the Netherlands and Switzerland. Our client commented that they could hire any of the shortlisted profiles and selected a dual US and UK-qualified candidate to be based in London and undertake a global role.
The shortlist was delivered in four weeks, the process was concluded in seven weeks, and the placed candidate was promoted within one year, a testament to our ability to place candidates who quickly enrich our clients’ businesses.
