TORONTO, December 21, 2007: Grech Associates Executive Search Inc. is now trading as Tessera Executive Search.

"It is a momentous occasion that we have officially joined hands with the Tessera Global family”, remarks Peter Grech Managing Partner of Tessera's North American practice. Grech Associates in Canada and Tessera Executive Search in the UAE have been collaborating on cross border assignments for the past 18 months. The relationship between the two organizations started as an alliance and has now evolved into a partnership, where knowledge, best practices and resources are exchanged.

"It's the perfect marriage, and ultimately our clients benefit from the shared capabilities of a global search practice", says Asad Haider, Managing Partner of Tessera's Middle East North Africa operation. Tessera Global, the group's parent, has allied itself with other boutique, retained executive search practices in both emerging and mature markets across the globe.

The firm's global reach and deep knowledge of local markets positions it as a refreshing, high performance alternative to the international executive search Tier 1 cartel.

“We’ve created a genuine differentiator and the market is responding beyond our expectations”, says Peter Grech.
