Connecting Talent
and Expertise
Senior and specialist appointments across the financial services industry. Boutique, founder-led, and headquartered in London with reach across the UK, Europe and North America.
Built on experience,
driven by people
Ramsey Portia has been connecting talent and expertise since 2013. Our team brings a combined thirty years of financial services recruitment experience, combining traditional values with a modern approach.
Search and recruitment,
built around the mandate
From the boardroom to interim cover — four ways we work, each shaped by what the role actually needs.
Retained search for leadership and business-critical specialist roles. Thorough, bespoke and discreet — combining deep market knowledge with rigorous assessment to secure the best person available, not simply the most visible.
Permanent recruitment on an exclusive basis — you pay only on a successful hire, and in return we commit fully to the search. Market mapping, targeted outreach and in-depth assessment, with a limited number of mandates at any one time.
Experienced interims and specialist contractors for transformation programmes, projects, or to cover a gap. A pre-vetted network across financial services means we move quickly, with minimal disruption to your business.
Chair, non-executive director and advisory appointments for investment managers, listed vehicles such as investment trusts and REITs, and private businesses. Discreet, rigorous search that balances independence, sector expertise and boardroom fit.
