TRANSEARCH Malaysia Turns 30

TRANSEARCH Malaysia celebrates their 30^th anniversary this year, join us in taking a moment to acknowledge this momentous occasion for founder Wendy Lau and TRANSEARCH International. Over the past three decades, approximately 2000 executives have been placed, and over 600 clients have been supported by Wendy and her team. An achievement made stronger by the fact that Wendy was the first woman to set up a local search firm in a field then dominated only by men.

Making a difference is clearly what motivates Wendy and her team, and the following quote from Wendy reflects this sentiment:

“The ultimate feeling of achievement for my team and I, is when the candidate delivers the results for the client and succeeds in his/her career within the client organization.”

TRANSEARCH Malaysia focusses their executive search expertise on the following practice groups; Manufacturing, Fast Moving Consumer Goods, Oil and Gas, Pharmaceutical, Chemicals and Electronics. We recently had the opportunity to catch up with some of their clients and received some glowing praise for Wendy and her team:

“When I think of Wendy and her team, here are a few words which come to my mind:
