Global talent mapping and pipelining specialist Armstrong Craven has recruited a new client partner to its Financial Services team.

Felix Ko was previously a managing consultant with Hudson in its Banking and Financial Services division. He has also worked in the sector for Michael Page. Before switching to the world of recruitment, Felix was an associate at JP Morgan and is a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales. Felix’s experience includes recruiting for roles in finance, risk and compliance, from analyst to director level.

He joins Armstrong Craven’s established financial services team which provides strategic talent acquisition services, including talent mapping, pipelining and insight, to some of the world’s leading banks and financial services companies.

Tom Mason, CEO of Armstrong Craven, said: “Felix brings with him a wealth of experience and knowledge, including expertise in some of the talent growth areas in the sector.

“He is one of a number of key sector appointments we are making across the business as we continue to scale in the UK and internationally.”

Felix said: “Armstrong Craven is challenging the way executive hiring is done by encouraging a far more consultative and strategic approach through the services we offer. It is an exciting time to be joining the business.”

Armstrong Craven has seen annual growth in excess of 45 per cent since 2014. The firm has offices in London, Manchester and Singapore with further offices due to open in 2018.

Tom Mason recently joined as CEO with responsibility for building the firm’s global reach.

In addition to Financial Services, the firm’s other key sectors are Technology, Healthcare and Life Sciences, Consumer, Industrial and Professional Services.
