Technology & Product
Engineering, product, data and AI leadership for start-ups, scale-ups, and platform businesses defining their category.
Headquartered
Singapore. 63 Robinson Road.
A boutique executive search firm headquartered in Singapore. We help global firms enter APAC — and regional firms hire the leaders who'll define their next chapter.
Hyphen Partners works at the intersection — between founders and funders, between companies and the people who build them. A boutique firm, deliberately small, so every mandate stays in the hands of a partner.
Based in Singapore with coverage across APAC, we partner with start-ups, unicorns, venture-backed businesses and the capital moving behind them — and with global firms entering the region who need boots on the ground from day one.
We are the ground team for global firms setting up in Asia. When an EU, US or China-headquartered company decides Singapore is the beachhead, we build the first hires — the Country Head, the Regional CEO, the commercial bench — and we handle the local context the org chart doesn't show.
Regulatory fluency, local compensation benchmarks, visa and EP realities, and a network that already knows who's open to a first-on-the-ground move.
Engineering, product, data and AI leadership for start-ups, scale-ups, and platform businesses defining their category.
Private equity, venture capital, hedge funds and family offices — investment, portfolio and operating partner roles across APAC.
Go-to-market, operations, finance, legal and HR leadership — building the commercial spine behind the product.
C-suite, board and founder-level mandates — the hires that define the trajectory of a company, handled with full confidentiality.
Dedicated senior partner on the mandate, exhaustive market mapping, and a longlist that reflects the full universe of who's possible — not just who's available.
Off-market conversations with leaders who aren't on the market. Deep referencing, structured evaluation, and a shortlist built for the decision — not the inbox.
Fast, targeted, and sector-specific. We only work roles where our network gives the client a real edge over a generalist search.
Embedded in your sector. Fewer, better mandates — each one owned end-to-end by a partner who will still be answering your calls two years from now.
We work quietly. We only reach out about roles we'd take ourselves. If something isn't right, we'll tell you — and we'll remember for the next one.
The city-state's largest pools of capital are moving into the most expensive layers of the AI stack.
Quick commerce GMV across the region reached US$7.3 billion in 2025 — and the operating bar keeps rising.
The region accounted for roughly 17% of total APAC private equity deal value in Q1 2026.
