Career Background

Jorge Ramos de Haro — Principal, Zavala Civitas

With more than six years of experience living and working in London, Jorge has built his career in financial services — notably serving as Associate Vice President at iM Global Partner, a specialist investment firm. Throughout his career, he worked with global international firms in key markets across the United Kingdom, USA, Europe, and Asia, specialising in Asset Management, Wealth Management, and Private Equity. He has gained deep insight into the financial sector and corporate banking that makes his contributions to Zavala Civitas’s financial services practice immediately substantive.

In addition to his London experience, Jorge has worked at El Corte Inglés Seguros and Accenture, where he served as a strategy consultant for the banking sector — adding specific consulting methodology and strategic analysis capability to his financial services practitioner experience. He holds a bachelor’s degree in economics from the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid and a postgraduate degree in Economics and Business from the University of London. He is a native Spanish speaker and fluent in English.

Jorge Ramos de Haro’s appointment reflects Zavala Civitas’s deliberate strategy of building financial services executive search capability from practitioners who have operated within the industry at a level of seniority and international market breadth that provides genuine intelligence about where the best candidates are, what motivates them, and what the specific leadership requirements of senior financial services roles actually look like from the inside. The practitioner-to-search-firm transition produces a categorically different quality of financial services market knowledge than the generalist recruiter who learns financial services from client briefs alone. That practitioner knowledge is the foundation of the appointment quality Jorge will contribute to Zavala Civitas’s financial services, asset management, and private capital practice.

“Jorge’s strong analytical skills, combined with his ability to build and manage client relationships, make him an exceptional leader. We are confident that his expertise will drive our financial strategy forward and contribute to the continued success of Zavala Civitas.” — Fernando Zavala, Partner, Zavala Civitas
