RSR Partners was established in 1993 by recruiting industry pioneer Russell S. Reynolds, Jr. as a specialized consulting firm to focus solely on corporate governance issues facing boards of directors and chief executive officers. Over the past decade, our firm has expanded into a diversified board and leadership recruiting firm that meets the demands of rapidly-expanding global business. Headquartered in Greenwich, CT, RSR Partners has offices in Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas, Los Angeles, and New York. RSR Partners Japan was established in 2015 as our first overseas office.

With the upcoming 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Abenomics driving growth across our clients’ industries, Japan is a new and exciting market for RSR Partners.

What has remained constant over the years is our partnership, which defines how we work with clients, how we work as a team, and how we work within our communities. With a focus on our actively-involved partners who personally manage client searches, everyone in our organization is committed to delivering the highest return on investment for our clients.

Based in the Toranomon business district of Tokyo, RSR Partners Japan works with a core group of both Japanese and foreign-capital global corporations to help find the very best management talent in Japan. Japanese corporations continue to look for talent to strengthen their boards and senior management teams. We have the network necessary to support these players in one of the world’s largest economies.

Our clients always come first. Our growth is important to us, and we believe that one good friend is worth more than a hundred acquaintances.

We hope RSR Partners Japan can serve your firm as a trusted partner in executive search.

Relentless Pursuit of Global TalentWhy RSR Partners?

Built from the Boardroom

For a global business today, the RSR Partners team offers a rigorous search methodology; the agility of a smaller firm; senior-level recruiting expertise; and access to a more robust candidate talent pool.

Access to the Best

Global Reach Results Driven

As the only major search firm built from a leading corporate governance consulting and board recruiting platform, RSR Partners leverages its governance insight and experience to help clients fill their most important and confidential leadership needs. Our board practice provides premier connectivity and sourcing at the highest levels of the business, political and academic worlds.

Our unique approach to identifying “star” talent and future leaders is predicated on the ability to create an integrated and multi-practice approach. We employ discreet, high-touch processes, complemented by an organizational structure thoughtfully created to enable us to find the next generation of leaders who will transform their companies and impact their industry.

We leverage top-level networks to ensure companies find leaders who will have an ongoing, measurable impact on the business. Clients receive the attention and resources of the entire firm spanning all sectors and functional areas including extensive international relationships.

We accept only a select number of assignments at any given time to maximize the number of candidates available on any search. This allows our partners the required time to understand our client’s culture, strategy, and vision to better identify and assess the right fit. Our client selection committee ensures that we do not take on a new assignment that conflicts with an existing client or project.

Industries

Board-centric approach enables us to engage with clients across all industries.

Capabilities

Deep functional knowledge and experience provides insights into the next generation of business leaders.

We have extensive expertise assisting large multinationals recruit divisional Presidents and COOs responsible for operationalizing the strategy of the CEO. Both positions are more important as companies and their boards look both externally and internally for succession alternatives.

Our board practice is the core of our business. We have over 100 years of collective experience working on board recruiting, board assessment, and gap analysis for clients ranging from the Fortune 10 to small cap companies to private companies. This broad spectrum of clients demand candidates from an equally wide variety of industry backgrounds, domestic and international leadership roles, functional expertise, and geographic, ethnic and gender diversity criteria.

We work with Fortune 1000 companies as well as portfolio companies of private equity firms. The biggest challenge facing financial officers today is the dual role of supporting corporate growth while managing risk. Today, they need to provide business leadership while strengthening the entire business enterprise. Our network cuts across all industries, allowing access to the best finance leaders in the marketplace.

We are rooted in the philosophy that the success of any organization begins at the top. Our firm has a history of assisting companies to find CEOs who foster innovation, creativity and integrity for their companies. Our collaborative, multi-practice approach captures the insights from the board, human resources and investment communities to ensure we recruit a CEO aligned with the company’s long-term strategy and core values.

The CIO/CTO role is a critical component of any modern organization. RSR Partners focuses on finding CIOs and CTOs for clients who are technologists and leaders. We believe that the best technology leaders possess great technical acumen, while understanding how to improve and grow a business, influence others, deliver results and drive strategic change.

With increased scrutiny around governance issues and multi-faceted compliance demands stemming from more regulatory oversight, the importance and prominence of general counsels and chief compliance officers is a trend that will continue. RSR Partners consultants have an extensive track record of helping clients attract world-class general counsels and senior in-house lawyers.

As the marketing landscape continues to bring new tools online every day, the role of CMO is increasingly complex and powerful. RSR Partners conducts chief marketing officer searches across all sectors, as well as their direct reports in critical areas like brand, advertising/media, insights, digital/social, and innovation.
