About Suntzu China
You need leaders with a genuine understanding of China.
SunTzu China is a professional executive headhunting and retained search firm specializing in the China market. We partner with multinational and high-growth organizations to identify, attract, and secure senior-level executive talent across both established and emerging industries, including artificial intelligence (AI), humanoid robotics, semiconductors, advanced manufacturing, automotive, life sciences, healthcare, consumer, financial services, and energy.
As China’s innovation-driven economy continues to accelerate, success in this market demands highly specialized leadership. Particularly in sectors such as AI, robotics and semiconductors, organizations require executives who not only possess deep technical and industry expertise, but who also understand China’s regulatory environment, supply chain ecosystem, and complex business dynamics. Through our retained executive search and headhunting solutions, we enable our clients to build leadership teams capable of driving innovation, transformation, and sustainable growth.
Our executive recruiters and headhunters bring extensive experience in China’s leadership landscape, with well-established networks across cutting-edge and traditional industries alike. Supported by a rigorous, research-driven search methodology and comprehensive market intelligence, we deliver a curated shortlist of high-impact leaders who combine local market insight, cross-cultural fluency, strategic vision, and a proven record of execution at scale.
With a strong focus on supporting international companies entering or expanding in China, SunTzu China serves as a long-term strategic partner rather than merely a service provider. We connect our clients with transformative leaders who are equipped to navigate complexity, lead advanced technologies to commercialization, and compete successfully in one of the world’s most competitive innovation hubs.
