December 01, 2015

Options Group, an executive search firm serving the financial services industry, completed its acquisition of Whitney Correlate on Nov. 17. Whitney Correlate is a capital markets search firm founded in 2009; it has offices in Hong Kong and Singapore.

Options Group announced the acquisition in October.

The acquisition provides Whitney Correlate with access to a larger global client base as well as an intelligence and research platform, while Options Group strengthens its global investment banking and capital markets practices. 

Whitney Correlate co-founders Russell Kopp and Niall MacDonald, along with four other employees, joined Options Group’s existing Asia team.

“Russell and Niall complement the existing senior leadership of Matt Pecheur,” said Options Group co-founder and President Bob Reed. “We are confident that this combination will better position our firm to serve our clients and capture the growing opportunities in Asia.”

Options Group is headquartered in New York with offices in London, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Sao Paulo, Bogota, Frankfurt, Mumbai, Singapore, Sydney and Zurich.
