Kingsley Gate Partners acquires The Omerta Group

Executive search firm Kingsley Gate Partners has increased its international presence by adding The Omerta Group, a search firm specialising in financial services, to its operations.

Headquartered in London, The Omerta Group has a longstanding presence and a strong reputation in global financial services.

Kingsley Gate is tech-enabled, global and backed by private equity firm Crescent Cove Advisors.

“To have a truly global financial services practice, you must be in three locations: New York, London and Hong Kong. This acquisition strengthens our position in these key markets,” said Umesh Ramakrishnan, Kingsley Gate Partners’ CEO, in a statement. 

The Omerta Group will complement Kingsley Gate Partners’ strength in the US and will accelerate the firm’s growing footprint across the UK, continental Europe, the Middle East and Asia/Pacific.

The addition of 50 experienced global financial services specialists also builds on Kingsley Gate Partners’ existing financial services expertise, particularly in asset management. 

Jason Mort, founder and CEO of The Omerta Group, will serve as leader of Kingsley Gate’s Global Financial Services Practice and has also been appointed to the firm’s Global Leadership Team.
 
Founded in 2002, The Omerta Group is an international financial services-focused executive search firm headquartered in London with regional offices in New York and Hong Kong.

The business will continue to operate under The Omerta Group brand, as a Kingsley Gate Partners company.
