Dr. Tom Mutch

Tom has over two decades experience in search, specialising in Board, C-suite and senior management appointments across the APAC region.

He has worked with a multitude of global and domestic clients across the private and public sectors, and he prides himself on being open, insightful and candid.

He has led Board searches for global member-owned organisations, subsidiaries of multinationals, billion-dollar public and private infrastructure assets, hospitals and financial institutions. He has also overseen the searches for university Chancellors, Chairs of PE-backed entities as well as Federal and State government Directors across the education, community, sport and treasury portfolios. He is particularly proud of being part of the team delivering the Board and CEO for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Tom also spent ten years in Hong Kong as a head-hunter covering Investment Banking and Funds Management (including a stint with Fidelity as part of their executive search capability).

Before executive search, Tom spent over twelve years in academia, completing his PhD in Physics and Climate Change in 2001, then as Chief Scientist on an American sail-training program headquartered in Florida.
