21st Century Global Economy leads over 60 Stanton Chase International Partners to India

Baltimore, Maryland, USA, December 2, 2003 - Stanton Chase International, recently concluded it’s 28th Global Partner’s Conference in New Delhi, India. Ted Muendel, International Chairman of Stanton Chase International, stated that “given the worldwide significance of India in today’s employment markets and Stanton Chase International’s recent ranking as the #1 executive search firm in the Asia Pacific Region, it was critical that the Partners of Stanton Chase be immersed firsthand in this region and the Indian culture specifically. Stanton Chase International has a great story to tell, specifically with our 4 offices in India and 10 offices in China, and with our clients moving operations and hiring aggressively in these countries, real-time understanding of these markets was critical for our Partners.” Mr. Muendel further noted that in keeping with this philosophy and corporate strategy, they anticipate having their Partner’s meeting next October in China.

A highlight of the Conference for the over 60 Partners of Stanton Chase International was being addressed by Ravi Ramakrishnan, a Chartered Accountant and global international executive. After an early high profile career at Unilever, Mr. Ramakrishnan is now a Senior Vice President for American Express with accountability for processing and information delivery relating to AMEX’s $150 Billion in transactions annually. Speaking on topics as wide ranging as the critical leadership management competencies required in today’s global economy, emerging trends in financial services and India’s competitive advantages in BPO, Ravi delivered a compelling message on the Service Profit Chain approach to achieving business results.

R. Suresh, Managing Director, Stanton Chase India, stated that “having an executive of the stature of Mr. Ramakrishnan address the Stanton Chase International Partners only confirms the vital importance of people and leadership capital in the minds of senior executives.” Suresh was also pleased to report that Presidents and CEOs of Indian companies or subsidiaries of multinational corporates, such as Dalmia Consumer Care, Alstom, TeleTech India and Global Vantedge, took part in the Stanton Chase International Conference.
