ABOUT EMILY KWAN
Pleased to share that I’ve joined Talent Edge, a modern executive search and talent advisory firm built for today’s most ambitious organizations.We specialize in identifying, attracting, and securing senior leadership and board-level talent across industries. Our team brings deep experience from both executive search and in-house talent leadership. We understand the complexities of hiring at the highest levels, because we’ve lived them. At Talent Edge, we work with ambitious, forward-thinking companies and act as true strategic partners. We don’t just fill roles - we represent your brand with discretion, precision, and the care you would expect from a trusted internal advisor. Our process goes beyond resumes and job specs: We combine the precision of traditional search with the speed and intelligence of modern tools. From AI-enabled sourcing and deep market mapping to customized advisory on structure, succession, and team design. We move faster, more strategically, and with greater precision without ever losing the human connection that great search work requires. What sets Talent Edge apart: • A dual lens: We’ve worked in-house and in search. We know how to partner. • Modern tools + human intuition = better outcomes, faster. • Deep sector knowledge, real talk, and a reputation for care and quality. • We don’t chase volume - we focus on impact. Our work is relationship-driven, never transactional. Every search is bespoke. Every engagement is high-touch and built on trust and insights. My career spans 20+ year in executive search, business development, and corporate leadership, with experience leading talent initiatives and strategic partnerships across real estate, fashion, and lifestyle brands. I’ve held leadership roles at Savills North America, Bosa Properties, Colliers International, and Kit and Ace, where I worked alongside Chip Wilson, and co-founded an events company in partnership with ESPN Southeast Asia.Outside of work, you’ll find me paddle boarding, golfing, exploring new hobbies, discovering great food while traveling, or unwinding with her partner and French bulldog, Chewie. Whether you\'re planning your next leadership hire, navigating a complex transition, or looking to elevate your board, I’d love to connect. e••••@talent-edge.ca
