Working with Maya to fill two critical leadership roles for our Vietnam business was an exceptional experience. As a Managing Director in a SEA‑listed consumer goods company, I needed a partner who could quickly understand our operational challenges and the calibre of talent required. Maya did exactly that—she analysed each role with precision, collaborated closely with me throughout the process, and consistently presented highly aligned candidates. Her ability to match our needs with the right leaders was outstanding, and we were able to secure excellent hires in a remarkably short time. Beyond the executive search itself, Maya also provided thoughtful business insights and valuable local connections that further supported our decisions. She is professional, proactive, and truly a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Maya for any organisation seeking top‑tier leadership talent in Vietnam.
