Sean Wong
Associate Director, Government GLC & Public Healthcare
A passion for people narratives and a genuine drive to empower individuals in their professional journeys brought Sean into the agency recruitment / search industry in 2009. Drawn by the opportunity to make a meaningful impact, he built his career from the ground up, gaining hands-on experience across the full spectrum of the recruitment landscape — from general recruitment to executive search and C-Suite headhunting.
Over the course of more than a decade, he has had the privilege of working alongside, and learning from, an array of remarkable individuals — each with their own unique stories, ambitions, and challenges. These encounters continue to fuel his belief that talent is the cornerstone of any successful organisation, and that our role as search professionals extends far beyond matching resumes to job descriptions. We have the privilege — and the responsibility — to help guide talents through critical crossroads in their careers, a calling that inspires he and his team every single day, regardless of the challenges they face in the market.
Today, Sean serves as an Associate Director (Practice Lead) of Cornerstone Global Partners (CGP)’s Government, GLC (Government-Linked Companies), and Healthcare Practice. In this capacity, he oversees a dedicated team of consultants who specialise in recruiting mid-to-senior level professionals across a broad range of functions including Human Resources, Accounting & Finance, Information Technology, Communications, Sales & Marketing, Digital and Strategy.
Relationship-driven and insights-led, Sean’s team work in close partnership with clients and candidates alike, providing market intelligence, talent advisory, and strategic search solutions that go beyond transactional hiring. With deep understanding of the nuances of the government, GLC, and healthcare sectors, they help organisations identify and attract talents who beyond technical competencies, are motivated by the heart to serve and contribute to nation building and progressing Singapore’s positioning in the world.
