DAVID BARRETT LAUNCHES BOUTIQUE SEARCH FIRM TARGETING INVESTMENT AND WEALTH MANAGEMENT

New York, October 5, 2005 Ð Recruiting expert David Barrett has opened his own executive search firm, David Barrett Partners, focusing on the investment and wealth management marketplace. He was most recently a Managing Partner at Higdon Barrett, a leading asset management boutique search firm. Prior to that, he headed the Global Asset and Wealth Management Practice at Heidrick & Struggles. Barrett's co-founders include four recruiters with global asset management search experience: Darryl Adachi, Danit Ben-Zvi and Anne Keyser whom he has known since his Heidrick & Struggles days, and Ted Kister who first recruited Barrett into the executive search profession at Russell Reynolds Associates in 1986.

Having worked in both large and small firms, Barrett believes that the boutique model serves his executive search clients best. "In a smaller, more focused environment, we can be selective in undertaking assignments and align our goals with those of our clients. We do not have the management distractions of a big firm. This is a business of time management and we are able to devote the time and focus that quality search work requires. By definition, in a boutique, we have limited client off-limits and, therefore, dramatically greater market access. We are completely focused in one area which, over time, has given us in-depth market knowledge, credibility and access to industry leaders," says Barrett. "The market for the best talent is extremely competitive. At David Barrett Partners, a 'clientcentric' focus is embraced by each professional and drives everything that we do. Our goal in each search is total client satisfaction based on well-managed, successful outcomesÑachieved expeditiously."
