Steve Mullinjer, Former Partner and Director with Heidrick & Struggles, Joins Recently Appointed Global Practice Head John Griffin in Development of Global Energy Practice
New York, NY - April 4, 2000 -- TMP Worldwide Inc. (NASDAQ: TMPW; ASX: TMP), the leading provider of global recruitment solutions, including the dominant Internet career portal, Monster.com, today announced the appointment of Steve Mullinjer, former Partner and Director in the Hong Kong office of Heidrick & Struggles, as Partner in the Global Energy and Natural Resources Practice of TMP Worldwide Executive Search. Mr. Mullinjer's appointment follows the appointment of fellow former Heidrick & Struggles top producer, John Griffin, as Head of TMP's Global Energy and Natural Resources Practice. The two senior executive recruiters will partner to lead and develop the cross border search practice with Mr. Mullinjer based in Hong Kong and Mr. Griffin in Houston. Mr. Mullinjer will also work closely with the company's Technology team to help build TMP Worldwide's Technology presence in Asia/Pacific.
Steven B. Potter, CEO of TMP Worldwide Executive Search Operations, said: “Steve has an outstanding reputation as an expert in the Asia/Pacific region, and his track record as a recruiter in energy and natural resources speaks for itself. He adds to our already growing capabilities in energy and natural resources by bringing to us his experience in Asia and his knowledge within in this practice.”
John McLaughlin, Managing Director of Asia/Pacific Operations based in Auckland, New Zealand, added: “Further developing our business in Asia/Pacific is a top priority for us at TMP. We are very excited about our prospects and Steve's experience will be of tremendous value to our efforts as we expand our practice. We are particularly looking forward to having Steve help bring about greater cross flow of assignments in Asia/Pacific and develop our business in China.”
Mr. Mullinjer, 39, brings solid industrial and energy sector client relationships to TMP Worldwide Executive Search along with an outstanding record for growing the business in the Asia/Pacific region. During his tenure with Heidrick & Struggles and earlier experience with Russell Reynolds, he successfully completed assignments for CEOs, managing directors, and regional heads of business in Indonesia, Singapore, the Philippines, Thailand, India and China. His particular expertise for China-related searches is due to his seven years living and working in China, where he developed significant joint venture experience in a number of China's key markets. Prior to entering executive search, his early career included time with Pacific Dunlop Asia as a group sales and marketing manager in China, as product manager with IBM LTD China, and in positions of increasing responsibility with IBM LTD Australia.
A native of Australia, Mr. Mullinjer holds numerous degrees, including a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Law and a Masters degree in Urban and Regional Planning from the University of Queensland; a Bachelor of Chinese with honors from the Beijing Language Institute, PRC; and a Master of Letters with honors in Chinese Economics and Joint Ventures Management from the Australian National University. Mr. Mullinjer also speaks and writes Mandarin Chinese.
John A. Griffin, 49, was appointed Managing Partner in the company's Executive Search Division on February 15. Mr. Griffin, formerly a top-producing partner with Heidrick & Struggles in Houston, runs the Houston office of TMP Worldwide Executive Search and is focused primarily on growing and overseeing the company's Energy Practice, which includes oil, gas, power, water, chemicals and energy e-commerce.
