Helen Soulsby announced as new Director of Asia 21/06/2011
The world’s leading provider of talent to the global sports industry, Sport Recruitment International, today announced the appointment of Helen Soulsby as its new Director for Asia.
The Singapore office was launched late 2008 and has grown from the strong global reputation the business enjoys with offices in London, Lausanne and Sydney.
Chairman Michael Squires commented that “Helen’s appointment reflects our commitment towards securing high calibre operators for our global practice and an increased focus on the Asia region.”
Undoubtedly sport in Asia is becoming increasingly commercial. This combined with a strong economy and the commitment of Governments to invest in sport across the region is resulting in a dynamic and rapidly growing industry.
Will Banbury, the Managing Partner for Asia said “The appointment and retention of top talent has become an increasing priority for sports business leaders in the region and we have seen a strong growth in our client base since we opened in Singapore.”
Helen will lead a broad range of service offerings including; confidential executive search, search and selection recruitment and the development of Sports Recruitment International’s dedicated online jobs portal (www.sportsrecruitment.com).
With 15+ years experience across sport and recruitment, Helen is well placed to lead the team in Asia. Early in her career she held sport marketing and product development roles at adidas in the UK. This was followed by her appointment as Head of Sponsorship for insurance giant Aviva (formerly Norwich Union).
In Australia, Helen directed the marketing and commercial programme for Athletics Australia (the national sporting federation) before building her own successful niche recruitment agency.
Mr Squires added, "I am delighted to welcome Helen to Sports Recruitment International. With her extensive experience and knowledge, I am confident she will be able to further drive our footprint across Asia and deliver outstanding talent for our clients.”
