Our Firm

Built to meet the evolving demands of our partners.

Fredriks launched in Asia to support significant team build-outs for global leaders in the funds space.

Since then, we’ve grown into a leading global player in private capital executive search, filling a critical gap with a bespoke, dynamic approach.

I like to think of us as the tactical disruptors.

“I started Fredriks in Hong Kong after seeing something the bigger firms had missed. Private capital was booming across Asia, but the talent partners supporting it felt stuck – too slow. Too transactional, and too far removed from the pace and nuance of the industry.

It was clear there was room for something better. So we built Fredriks – a more agile, more connected alternative, tailored to how private capital actually works.

What began in Asia quickly grew globally. Today, were partnering with some of the world’s leading private capital firms, helping them think differently about leadership, growth, and talent.

We’re proud to be the alternative of choice, thoughtful, fast-moving, and always honest with our advice.
