Adapa Advisory’s chief executive, Mark Kerns, explained that the joint venture will leverage Adapa Advisory’s background in post trade and securities services in Africa with that of HornbyChapman’s expertise in executive recruitment.
He said: “We bring many years of in-country knowledge, connections and profile and HornbyChapman complements that with a global reputation and market knowledge.”
“The continued developmental growth in Africa is driving demand for skilled resources in the region and HornbyChapman in partnership with Adapa Advisory creates an insightful and relevant provider in the market,” Kerns added.
Paul Chapman, co-founder and managing director of HornbyChapman, commented: “I have known Mark Kerns and the team for many years and believe combining our forces makes for a highly compelling proposition. We very much look forward to working together for the benefit of our mutual clients, wherever in Africa they may be based.”
