It’s with great sadness that we announce that Tom Seaden, one of London’s leading financial services executive search consultants, died yesterday, aged only 45.
Tom spent four years as head of Whitney Group in London, before moving to Korn/Ferry International last month. Always helpful, always knowledgeable, and always discreet, Tom was a force to be reckoned with in City headhunting, and will be sadly missed.
He leaves behind a wife and son.
I worked for Tom for a number of years at Whitney Group and am deeply saddened by this news. He cared greatly for the people who worked under him and he will be sadly missed.
I would like to give my deepest condolences to his wife and son.
We are very shocked and saddened by this news in Hong Kong. Although I only worked with Tom for a short time at Whitney Group, he was always extremely understanding and reassuring. He helped the Hong Kong office deal with a lot of major changes about a year ago. My thoughts are with his family, his wife and son.
I came across Tom professionally, and then he became a good friend, for the past nine years. He cared greatly for those he came across, had immense integrity, a first rate sense of humour, and was always excellent company. I am shocked by his early death, and greatly saddened. I had introduced him to shooting: we were all looking forward to many more days together in the field. Our love and thoughts are with his wife and son. A true gentle, man.
I worked for Tom a couple of years ago. Great person to work with and great individual. I was shocked to hear that he is no more. As a young professional building up my career, I used to admire his tough stance in difficult times and his friendly stance, a true professional.
A great salute to a great individual. My obvious thoughts lie with his wife and son and family in this difficult time.
