Our Story

Transforming Executive Search

LYC Partners was founded in 2015 with a vision to reinvent executive search and leadership advisory for a global, technology-driven era.

From its inception, the firm set out to address the shortcomings of traditional search by combining deep cross-border expertise, AI-powered analytics, and a distributed partner network.

Rapid expansion across APAC established LYC Partners as a trusted advisor to both multinational corporations and local champions, known for delivering premium executive search, leadership solutions, and transformative advisory services.

In 2025, the integration of the Global Executive Alliance (GEA) into LYC Partners marked a new chapter, unifying community-driven advisory and high-impact talent solutions under one disruptive platform⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
