Sheffield Haworth is pleased to announce the appointment of Mark Esposito as Managing Director and Head of Business & Professional Services Practice for the Americas. Mark joins Sheffield Haworth from his position as Partner at Sextant Search Partners, New York.
Additionally, effective June 1 2009 Mark will assume responsibilities from Stephen Spagnuolo as Head of Office for Sheffield Haworth Inc. Stephen launched the New York business in June 2004 and has led its growth and development over the past five years. He will be turning over local management to Mark so that he may concentrate full time on strengthening and extending Sheffield Haworth’s core strategic relationships across investment banking (IBD) domestically and internationally, particularly in Asia. Accordingly, Stephen will carry on as Managing Director and Co-Head of the Global Banking and Private Equity practice in the US and member of the Group Management Committee.
Tim Sheffield, Chief Executive, said “I am delighted to announce that Mark has joined us. He brings a wealth of experience and is a strong addition to the team in North America as well as to the Sheffield Haworth Group. Despite these challenging times we have remained committed to continuing our international growth strategy and look forward to announcing further hires in the near future".
Prior to Sextant Partners, Mark also worked for eight years at CT Partners, where he founded the firm's Global Financial Services practice and was a member of the firm's leadership advisory board. He worked previously at D.S. Wolf Associates and Smith Hanley Associates.
Before entering executive search, Mark held a series of sales and marketing roles with a leading financial services publisher. He received a BA from Gettysburg College in business administration.
Commenting on the pending transition, Tim Sheffield continued “I would like to take this opportunity to thank Stephen for his significant work in establishing our North American business and to recognise his considerable efforts in building a first class team. We're at the five-year point in the US and Stephen is to be duly congratulated for positioning SH Inc. such that it has become a 'Firm of Choice' across the US financial services landscape. We now have a unique opportunity to maintain the growth trajectory of our New York business with a handover to Mark for the day-to-day management and freeing up Stephen to stay out in front with our clients”.
