Cornerstone International Group has established its first office in Japan and 17th in Asia.

Speaking at the head office of Cornerstone International Group, CEO Simon Wan welcomed Human Future, a boutique human capital agency based in Yokohama.

“This is an exciting step for us,” said William Liu, Managing Partner of Human Future. “Japan used to be a region by itself for many multinationals but has increasingly become part of a wider market.

“This new association will give us direct, high-quality global access and greatly benefit our growing Japanese-based businesses and MNC clients.”

Liu has over 20 years of HR experience in Japan in various consulting and senior corporate roles. He was formerly HR Director of Elekta Japan, a major Swedish medical device company.

Cornerstone International Group  has also added four new offices in Brazil. Technique Search, with headquarters in Brazil and three subsidiary offices, is the latest executive search firm to join the fast-growing group.

The new Cornerstone Brazil will be based in Sao Paulo and has offices also in Rio de Janeiro, Manaus and Campinas. The firm has a team of 10 senior consultants and specializes in assessments, recruiting and leadership counseling for positions that include senior executives, members of the Board of Directors and managerial/specialist positions.

Talent Management services include Career Planning and Development, Board and Senior Management Assessment and evaluation of needs and Board and Management Counseling, which includes initial alignment of expectations and personal careers.
