Joe Dubbin

Joe read Construction Management at Westminster University after which he spent his early career in the construction industry, working on very large redevelopment projects in the East End of London.

He worked for nine years for two other executive search companies, recruiting financial professionals, before joining Cripps Sears in 2010. Initially Joe worked in the Infrastructure practice, and he remains integrated into the firm’s infrastructure and P3 operations.

Joe describes the various practices at Cripps Sears as very much inter-related. His own global financial activities cooperate extensively with the oil and gas upstream and midstream, shipping and mining desks.

Based in London, the Finance practice integrates with all other Cripps Sears sectors to offer a truly global service. We have placed candidates in these locations.

Three core markets

Joe recruits for positions such as CFO and finance director, but also at the level of their direct reports: such as, for example, head of tax, group financial controller, treasurer and corporate financier, and, in addition, their counterparts at banking and advisory companies.

The practice thus has three highly complementary core markets from which it can draw candidates, because Joe is not only talking to corporates, but also to the related banking and advisory areas.

Cripps Sears’ financial practice is genuinely global. Joe lists the areas in which he has recently delivered assignments as: Australia, Malaysia, Singapore, India, S Africa, Namibia, plus the financial capitals of Europe, The Americas and Far East.

Personal interests

Joe has a keen interest in current affairs and business news and enjoys the travel that goes with his job. He likes discovering new places and doing business with people from different cultures. Music is a particular pleasure, and Joe’s taste is broad and eclectic.
