About 
SYS Advisors understands the importance of finding the right fit and providing a diverse group of candidates to clients to enjoy a successful outcome.
Each mandate and candidate is distinctive — uncovering the “ideal” candidate requires experience and expertise that Su Yon can bring forth to help ensure a successful outcome. Our firm prides itself on being able to identify and fully understand the strengths/weaknesses of potential candidates, some of whom at first glance may not be obvious fits.
From the search to the screening, Su Yon Sullivan, the Founder and President of SYS Advisors, personally handles every aspect of the process. This allows Su Yon to fully capture the nuances of each search and each candidate. This is what differentiates SYS Advisors from its competitors.
Our goal
To help your firm find the ideal person for the role you are looking to fill – someone who will add economic value to your firm, add to your company culture and become a valued employee for years to come.
SYS Advisors was founded by Su Yon Sullivan, a seasoned executive recruiter who previously worked at Crown Advisors, Whiterock and DS Wolf. Having worked at different firms has given her varied and invaluable experience which has allowed her to identify “best practices” and refine her own approach. In addition to her experience as a senior retained executive search consultant, Su Yon has Wall Street industry managerial experience honed when she was an MD and Head of Asian Equity Sales at Nomura and an equity analyst at Furman Selz (now ING). This gives first-hand perspective on the hiring needs of investment management and financial services firms. She holds an MBA from Columbia Business School and a BA from Tufts University. Su Yon is based in Greenwich, CT and maintains offices in Greenwich and Manhattan.
Discover the SYS difference
The right people can make all the difference. We’re here to help you find them.
High-level expertise
Unlike many of the larger search firms that take a “factory” approach, Su Yon personally handles all aspects of the search and does not delegate aspects to inexperienced junior staff. This “hands-on” approach is essential to ensuring a successful outcome.
In-Depth Analytical Evaluation
Our process goes well beyond superficial resume review and requires expertise in evaluating candidates to uncover their true skill sets and motivations. For each assignment, Su Yon casts a wide net which uncovers people often not considered by others and always includes those from diverse and varied backgrounds.
Industry Knowledge
We intentionally maintain a low number of engagements at any one time, focusing on a select number of non-competing search mandates, ensuring that each client receives the highest level of focus and attention throughout the process.
