Vision

The eye relates to the Egyptian hieroglyph for wisdom. Vision and wisdom are key to assessing the possibilities in each of our candidates.

Strength

The structure of the face relates to the Chinese character lì, 力, meaning strength and energy. These traits are vital to conducting a rigorous and disciplined search process.

Diversity

Our logo, a fusion of a Chinese written character and a human face, shows our pride in our Asian roots and our cross-cultural DNA. Diverse organisations outperform.

Our firm has a unique story that embraces diversity 

Founded in Hong Kong in 1998, we expanded rapidly to Japan and across Europe and North America. 

Today, Global Sage has over 60 employees with 10 nationalities who speak 20 languages. 

We are a woman-owned business and more than half of our partners are female.
