outcomes across a wide range of disciplines and industry sectors. As important, 
their focus on finding outstanding leaders who shape the future is in perfect 
alignment with our belief that connecting clients with transformational talent 
can turn corporate potential into proven success."

"We are excited to be joining a team whose unwavering commitment to their 
clients and candidates matches our own. We genuinely care about the quality of 
outcomes we produce for clients and candidates, and we have been impressed by 
the degree to which we see that in the Caldwell team as well," said Jane Neale, 
managing partner and co-founder. Joint managing partner and co-founder Anne 
Hatton commented further, "We look forward to the increased global footprint 
and wide range of talent solutions the Caldwell platform provides us, and which 
will allow us to serve our clients more broadly."

Wallace concluded: "This expansion into the Australian market is another major 
step forward for Caldwell as it builds its Asia Pacific footprint. Our growth 
strategy as a leading international boutique is positioned to attract the very
