Founded In 2014, Cognasia Talent is an executive search company based in Singapore. Our name is an amalgam of the Latin word “Cognitio” meaning knowledge and “Asia”. We truly get Asia and the region is our home.

At the core, we are about matching aspirations with opportunities. 

We specialize in leadership roles across Asia.  We are data led and therefore able to deploy a precise and targeted search process. That is the key to our success. Our founding partners bring extensive Asia business leadership experience. We bring expert knowledge of the business landscape & ethos within Asia and an extensive network of relationships with business leaders and professionals across the region. This enables us to unleash a powerful search process that transcends the usual database led searches.  We are also successful in securing talent - expatriate and homeward bound, across borders in Asia and indeed from outside Asia. 

Collaboration, Confidentiality & Integrity are our core values. We are collaborative in our approach and our clients appreciate the time we spend upfront in understanding their business, their strategic imperatives and priorities. We interact and often help refine the roles and the requirements in collaboration with our clients – ultimately this helps us fill client needs quickly and efficiently. 

We have successfully closed CXO and Business/ Functional leadership roles in Australia, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand. These include Country Managers, Regional Business Heads, Global Marketing & Product Management heads, CFOs and Finance professionals, Compliance, Legal professionals, Sales, Business Development roles and HR professionals. Our clients include Banks, Insurance Companies, Payment Networks, Fintechs, Marketing and Business Services firms, Healthcare, FMCG and Consulting Firms.
