To say that technology is a critical component of business is a gross understatement. The successful acquisition, implementation, management and continuous upgrading of technology will have a direct impact on a company’s bottom line.
Quite simply, CIOs allow companies to work smarter.
The role of the CIO and those positions that directly support the CIO are mission critical.
Technology leaders are becoming more and more valuable.
ITOs who possess excellent management skills, business acumen and powerful vision change companies, not only in technological terms, but in the overall success of the business.
CIOs must be connected to every aspect of an organisation’s operations.
They must be able to foresee challenges and address issues before they negatively impact the business.
Our consultants have searched and acquired CIOs for leading global corporations.
Our clients include Fortune 500 as well as mid-sized and emerging growth companies across a broad range of industries and sectors.
EMA Partners has a history of successful acquisition of highly credible Financial Officers on behalf of its worldwide clientele.
We’ve identified exceptional financial leaders across industry sectors from major Government and Non-Profit agencies to Global Banks and Financial organisations.
The recession of 2008 continues to leave residual issues and challenges for financial executives.
In today’s market, the new CFO must be keenly astute in every aspect of financial management, be a tactical strategist and a communications expert, while being an inspirational leader.
At EMA Partners, we have been able to consistently provide clients with financial executives who are best-in-class.
Our portfolio of clients includes Fortune 1000, as well as small to mid-sized organisations and private equity firms.

Lead roles such as CEOs, Presidents and Board of Directors have been greatly impacted by a series of issues within major organisations, which have led to bankruptcies of American multinational firms.
The aftermath has had serious trickle-down effects for businesses of every size around the world. Since the introduction of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (2002), the selection of CEOs and Board members has been closely scrutinised by regulators, investors and the public at large.
As a result, the search and selection process plays a critical role.
Today’s CEO requires much more than a stellar business mind; they must have tremendous stamina to manage the breadth of an organisation and to ensure growth in increasingly competitive markets.
We leverage our extensive network of known reputable global leaders and engage in a meticulous selection process.
We have an accomplished team of global search practitioners who have earned the respect of our local and international clients.
For more than three decades, our consultants have assisted clients with a number of strategic initiatives including:
Harnessing the Power of AI & Machine Learning for Tomorrow's Executive Landscape In the competitive landscape of technical innovation in business, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) represent transformative forces reshaping industries and redefining value chains.
These technologies, once perceived as facets of science fiction, are now intrinsic to driving efficiencies, innovations, and actionable insights across a multitude of sectors.
McKinsey & Company estimate that generative AI alone could add $2.6 to $4.4 trillion of value annually.
To excel, companies require the top AI business, product and technical talent in the world to keep up and compete.
EMA Partners AI & ML Practice
The Digital Landscape: Today’s business environment is undergoing significant change and the driving force behind much of today’s global innovation, growth and transformation is Digital.
For businesses to remain competitive, a well-conceived digital strategy and vision are critical.
EMA Partners understands that the rising prevalence of digital channels, including mobile, online and social media will continue to have a profound impact on the way in which business is conducted and how customers are engaged and retained.
Universities are among the oldest institutions, and for the most part, have a common mandate to provide free and equal access to higher learning.
However, universities must compete to attract the brightest minds, and students must compete to gain access to the best institutions. In a world driven by knowledge, educational institutions play a critical role in the production of intellectual stimuli.
Today, colleges and universities require leadership that transforms their institutions into highly visible places of learning recognised for rich academic programs, and cutting-edge research and discovery.
There exists a belief that scholastic success, economic growth and global competitiveness are closely tied to university rankings.
An institution’s reputation and subsequent ranking are largely dependent on the acquisition of academic talent, whereby faculties comprised of the most qualified professors and researchers will attract quality funding, as well as the brightest minds.
In response to the vast costs involved in operating a research-based institution, educational leaders need to acquire and manage an abundance of resources, securing grants and funding from both traditional sources such as the government to innovative private sources, as well as strategic partnerships with commercial enterprises.
Senior levels of management must then balance their focus on achieving academic and research superiority with the challenges of shrinking budgets, and overseeing fiscal management.
We at EMA Partners have developed and established a successful global practice team of consultants specialising in Education.
We are helping our clients create executive management teams, and are identifying leaders who are capable of transforming universities, colleges and schools into elite institutions.
We attract exceptional talent from around the globe in the following areas:
Global Payments, Digital and Transaction Services (GPD&TS) is a dynamic and increasingly sophisticated and innovative business segment. It encompasses a range of industry sectors and business lines that facilitate and support the secure and timely transmission of complex data, communication, and information-driven transactions.
This unique practice group was initially designed and built by EMA Partners to support clients within traditional payments and data transaction service businesses including, but not limited to, retail and commercial lending, credit and debit card issuance, payment networks and schemes, merchant acquiring, payment processing, card & POS solution providers and loyalty & rewards.
The increasing focus on digital and mobile payments has stimulated the expansion of our unique GPD&TS practice group. Like the Payments sector, the telecommunications industry has undergone a transformation, with the increasing adoption of mobile devices and smartphones and the proliferation of applications that allow consumers to do far more with their phones than simply make a call.
In response to the moves made by the MNOs (mobile network operators) to compete in the payments business, the traditional payments ecosystem and its participants are forced to respond and react, and the ecosystem continues to become further disrupted by the increasing interest of retailers and technology companies (including a slew of start-ups) that are all jostling for a place in the payments market.
