Rita brings more than 20 years of industry experience as a private banker — a VHNWI veteran with the likes of StanChart and BNPP. Since leaving private banking, she moved into private equity and deal structuring. She brings a wealth of real industry experience in financial services to the table. Her network is her database.
Launching a specialist boutique search firm in Singapore makes sense as the firm leverages her pure-play private banking and front office network while giving back to the Singapore market as an SME in growth mode. Arctiva Partners deploys a two-pronged approach: legal and control functions recruitment, and Front Office buy-side recruitment.
The reciprocal relationship between governance recruitment and the financial services desk provides Arctiva Partners with exclusive access to the best legal, company secretariat, risk and compliance, and front office financial services mandates.
