London, April 18, 2005
Whitney Group, a global executive search firm serving the financial services industry, is further building its European global markets practice with the hire of Richard Fisher.
Mr. Fisher joins Whitney from Alexander Mann, where he was a director covering fixed income assignments in the firm's capital markets practice. He previously served as director in business development at Robert Walters, and as an investment banking search executive at Dunhill.
Prior to joining the executive search industry, Mr. Fisher spent 11 years selling rates in swaps and bonds for firms such as Butlers and Tullets. From his base in Sydney, Mr. Fisher expanded his business to Singapore, Hong Kong and Tokyo.
"With his business development strengths, Richard will add significantly to Whitney's growing European business," says Tom Seaden, managing director and head of Whitney's European operations.
Mr. Fisher's hire comes shortly after the appointment of Chris Manfield as the head of Whitney's European asset management practice. Mr. Manfield joined Whitney in January from Odgers Ray & Berndtson, where he was head of the investment management practice.
