Jack Atkins

Principal, Head of Middle East
Europe, Middle East, APAC

Having been with One Search since 2017, Jack leads our efforts in the Middle East from Abu Dhabi, tasked with establishing and growing One Search’s business in the region. He is part of the Private Equity and Portfolio practices, delivering search and talent solutions to leading Infrastructure and Energy investors across the broad, EMEA region.

Jack focuses on Investment/Asset Management and Portfolio searches and has established an international client base across a diverse set of investors from PE, Core Infrastructure and VC. He has spent much of his time consulting with clients around new pioneering platform/vehicle builds within the Energy Transition and decarbonisation thematic, which has resulted in successful projects with the likes of CPP Investments, Antin Infrastructure Partners, Ardian, Hy24 and Allianz Global Investors. With increasing focus from clients with an Infra lens crossing into more growth equity and tech focused strategies, Jack continues to build a comprehensive network and assists in building leadership teams at both executive and non-executive level.

Outside of work Jack enjoys sporting pursuits including golf, cricket and football, being an avid Liverpool fan – travelling to Paris for the Champions League Final.
