At Sousou Partners, we believe in having a point of view. For over twenty years, it is what our clients have come to expect and to value. Having a point of view about their talent needs, compensation structures, and recruitment processes – but also the type of businesses they are seeking to build and the cultures they are nurturing.
Our annual compensation review has become the centerpiece of our insight work. Each year we benchmark compensation trends across a number of job roles, geographies, and sectors and make this work – suitably anonymized and confidential – available to clients and the media. We also look beyond the immediate world of recruitment. We regularly scan the operating landscape to identify emerging topics and trends that have the potential to affect our clients or the overall real asset sector. And then we research, reflect and review to bring a deeper understanding to our work.
Sometimes we simply write about what has moved us and what we believe is important.
The Round Up – January 2022
After two decades of exclusively focusing on the Real Assets industry through talent advisor, we find ourselves in an opportune position of having significant and timely intelligence on the industry. We have been communicating much of our knowledge through our search assignments and platform introduction activity but find that we can do better at collating relevant information. Hence the Round-Up.

Compensation – Flat is the new up
Compensation for infrastructure investment professionals is expected to stay flat, Serene Hamzawi, managing partner at recruitment and advisory firm Sousou Partners, told us in February 2020. That forecast was made before covid-19 was declared a pandemic and the world went into multiple lockdowns. Roughly a year later, Hamzawi and Sousou were proven right, and the industry showed resilience once again.
