Foster Partners was established as the successor to KPMG Peat Marwick's U.S. Executive Search practice. KPMG Peat Marwick began offering executive search services in 1962 and developed over the course of 27 years to be the largest of the public accounting executive search practices.
 In 1989, Peat Marwick LLP, in the interest of client independence, elected to divest the firm's executive search practice to a buy-out group led by Dwight E. Foster, partner-in-charge of the U.S. executive search practice. On January 2nd, 1990, Foster Partners officially began operations.
Successively, in order to further develop and manage its executive search business in Asia, Foster Partners Asia was formed in 1999 and has grown to include offices throughout Asia, including China, Malaysia and Vietnam.
In 2006, Foster Partners took the next step and evolved the practice, moving its global headquarters to Shanghai, PRC to better service clients entering the China market. With ambitious expansion goals, Foster Partners has extended its reach throughout China, opening 11 new offices nationwide.
Drawing from a long heritage of excellence, today Foster Partners is one of the world's leading executive recruitment firms.
