EPIC PARTNERS

—Thinking together about better career paths and supporting their realization—

EPIC PARTNERS Co., Ltd. is an executive search (headhunting) firm founded in London, UK, in October 2001.

We currently have offices in New York, Singapore, Tokyo, Osaka, and Fukuoka, primarily supporting the careers of high-caliber talent in the consulting and financial industries.

Since 2024, we have also focused on investment in growth companies. Through our new model of “Investment × CxO Talent Introduction,” we promote the matching of corporate growth with leadership talent.

Beyond headhunting and executive search, EPIC PARTNERS will expand into M&A brokerage, Financial Advisory Services (FAS), and investment fund management starting in 2025.

We believe that supporting corporate growth through the dual engines of “talent” and “capital” constitutes true partnership. We are convinced that only by combining the recruitment of outstanding leaders with strategic capital alliances and financial support can companies achieve sustainable growth.

EPIC PARTNERS provides cross-functional support across multiple layers—talent, organization, capital, and strategy—
simultaneously realizing “maximized corporate value and optimal placement of management talent.”

Social Contribution Through “Knowledge” and “Technology” via Talent Business + Alpha

Through our affiliated Aoyama Advanced Technology Institute,
we engage in joint research with government agencies, major heavy industries, and high-tech companies, as well as policy advocacy, tackling next-generation industrial development and societal challenges. By connecting technology, management, and human knowledge, we continuously create new social value.

We believe in the career potential of every individual and remain a “true partner” in co-designing the future for companies and society.

Achievements

Case Introductions & Track Record

Career Transition Success Story 1

Former Major Consulting Firm / Male in his 40s

After many years working on strategic reform projects at a major consulting firm,
I wanted to be involved in decision-making in a position closer to management.
That’s when I consulted with EPIC PARTNERS about my career transition.

The consultant accurately understood my career characteristics and future vision,
and proposed a management position at a management consulting firm
where I could leverage the experience I gained at the major firm. They comprehensively evaluated
my industry knowledge, project achievements, and management experience,
enabling me to identify the company that best aligned with my values and growth vision.

Throughout the selection process, I received detailed feedback and preparation
before and after each interview, allowing me to showcase my strengths to the fullest.
Currently, I am in a position where I can be consistently involved from strategic planning
to execution, spending fulfilling days directly contributing to client companies’ growth.

Career Transition Success Story 2

Former Megabank / Male in his 20s

After graduating from university, I worked in corporate sales at a major megabank, but
I wanted to engage in problem-solving from a broader management perspective,
so I aimed to transition to a foreign strategic consulting firm. EPIC PARTNERS’ consultant
was well-versed in the career structure of the financial industry and the hiring criteria
of the consulting industry, and consistently supported me after clarifying my strengths.

They helped me articulate how I could leverage the numerical analysis and proposal skills
I developed in the financial industry as a strategy consultant. For case interview preparation,
I received thorough training from practical framework application to logical thinking exercises.
They coordinated interviews with multiple foreign firms and provided detailed information
about each company’s culture and project characteristics, enabling me to choose the firm that suited me best.

Currently, I participate in management strategy projects for global companies,
tackling challenges across diverse industries. I’m convinced that without EPIC PARTNERS’ support,
this career transition would not have been possible.

Career Transition Success Story 3

Former IT Company / Female in her 30s

I had been responsible for project management in the IT industry, but wanted to
engage in more strategic work. EPIC PARTNERS’ consultant analyzed my
skill set and supported my transition to a strategic consulting firm.

What particularly impressed me was how they specifically demonstrated the value
of my IT industry experience in strategic consulting. As digital transformation (DX) becomes
a critical issue for companies, they explained that professionals who understand both
technology and business are extremely rare, which gave me confidence going into the selection process.

I received offers from multiple firms, and after comprehensively comparing
work-life balance and career growth opportunities, I was able to choose the firm
where I could work most authentically. Even after joining, I regularly receive career counseling
and continue to grow as a consultant.
