Strategic Expansion to Tap into Middle East Growth
TENTEN Partners, a premier Singapore-based executive search and recruitment firm, announced a significant milepost in its worldwide growth strategy with the opening of a new office in Dubai. The strategic expansion reflects the firm’s commitment to meeting fast-growing talent needs in one of the world’s fastest-growing regions.
Leadership Perspectives on Expansion
Luke Archer, Co-founder & Managing Partner at TENTEN Partners, spoke excitedly about the expansion and called it a defining moment in their company’s global trajectory. “Our strategic expansion into the Middle East represents a pivotal moment in TENTEN Partners’ global growth trajectory,” said Archer. He stressed that the firm is well on its way to participating actively in the vibrant business landscape of the region, bringing forward the expertise and performance record in talent acquisition.
Strategic Rationale and Vision
Laura Taylor, who has just been appointed Head of Middle East at TENTEN Partners, outlined the strategic rationale for the move, mentioning the strong synergy between Singapore and the Middle East amid the latter’s phase of transformation. “Our strategy is to use our global reach and local connections to bring highly qualified professionals from fast-growth markets to fill leadership roles,” says Taylor.
Industry-specific expertise and Market Positioning
Justin Castle, who will head the management consulting practice from Dubai, pointed out that the investments being made in Dubai in technology, sustainability, and economic diversification are special opportunities. “This expansion will allow TENTEN Partners to provide global strategic hiring services that cater to unique Middle East needs,” Castle said, emphasizing the firm’s capability to connect top-tier talent with the most innovative companies in the region.
Track Record and Clientele
TENTEN Partners has in excess of eight years of solid track record and finished assignments across a few sectors, including Technology, Financial Services, Insurance, and Management Consulting. Its customer list incorporates industry goliaths, for example, Standard Chartered Bank, OCBC, Deutsche Bank, and Emirates NBD.
Future Outlook and Strategic Initiatives
Looking ahead, TENTEN Partners continues to support Middle Eastern countries’ efforts toward economic diversification and initiatives such as Emiratisation. With offices in Singapore and Hong Kong, and now Dubai, it is better positioned to help clients across Asia and the Middle East who need specialist expertise in niche talent acquisition and foster long-term client relationships.
The expansion into Dubai is strategic for TENTEN Partners and propels the firm to the forefront of changes in the Middle East business landscape. What is more central to TENTEN Partners’ capabilities in creating value by linking the finest talent with rising opportunities in the region is leveraging global experience with local acumen—hence making huge contributions toward the transformation journey that businesses across the Middle East have embarked on.
