Godliman was approached by a franchise leader within a EMEA-headquartered Asset Manager, who wished to relocate to the US, and so had arranged an exit from his current employer.
He had successfully built a market-leading franchise in an Emerging Markets strategy, with a strong client following, in particular in the EMEA region.
Ideally, he wished to find a new position in the US, which would allow him to run a similar strategy but which also leveraged his historical client base in Europe.
The team leader did not know which houses might have an interest in considering his highly differentiated product as he lacked specific knowledge of firms with trans-Atlantic client bases and operations.
Godliman worked with him over a period of 6 months to discreetly identify potential houses that might provide a supportive platform for his franchise.

I would be extremely likely to recommend them due to their excellent communication and preparation. Candidate profiling is a real edge and will result in a better organisational fit.
