House of Rose Professional® Launches CEOSource®, a Premium Leadership Search Brand for CEO, Board and C-Suite Appointments

Premium leadership search for leaders who accelerate enterprise value, move markets and build a better world

SINGAPORE, Aug. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- House of Rose Professional® – The Global Leadership Company, today announced the global launch of CEOSource®, its premium leadership search business focused on CEO, Board and C-suite appointments.

Personally led by founder Anthony A. Rose and supported by an exceptional network of former CEOs, Board Directors and senior global executives, CEOSource® partners with corporations, private equity firms and portfolio companies to identify and appoint exceptional leaders who can accelerate enterprise value, lead transformation and build enduring businesses.

CEOSource® differentiates its approach through founder-led search, trusted access to exceptional leadership talent and the first-hand judgement of leaders who have themselves run global businesses, served on Boards, appointed senior executives and coached CEOs. Its model also provides clients with an important additional commitment: CEOSource® guarantees delivery of a final candidate who meets the agreed search criteria, bringing greater accountability and confidence to the search process.

The launch of CEOSource® complements BeliEVE®, House of Rose Professional's specialist executive search business dedicated to accelerating more exceptional women into the C-Suite and CEO Office, and expands the company's executive search capability as part of its integrated leadership ecosystem spanning Talent, Training and Transformation.

Beyond appointment, CEOSource® clients can access House of Rose Professional's capabilities across executive coaching, leadership development, executive reputation and crisis anticipation—helping organizations accelerate the impact of their leaders and build enduring leadership capability.

Anthony A. Rose, Chairman and CEO of House of Rose Professional®, said:

"Leadership has never mattered more. For CEOs, Boards, CHROs and investors, the right leadership appointment can accelerate growth, strengthen culture and create significant enterprise value. The appointment of a CEO or senior leader is one of the most consequential decisions any Board will make. We created CEOSource® to bring together deep business experience, trusted leadership relationships and senior-level judgement to help clients make those decisions with confidence. I will personally lead every assignment, working alongside experienced senior advisors—former CEOs, Board Directors and senior executives—to find the right leader for the business, its people and its future. It is another important step in our mission to build the world's best leaders to build the world's best businesses and a better world."

CEOSource® builds on House of Rose Professional's established executive search experience, global C-suite relationships and more than a decade of working with senior leaders and leading organizations worldwide.

Its approach is strengthened by the perspective of accomplished CEOs, Board Directors and global business leaders who understand first-hand the consequences of getting critical leadership appointments right.

Bob McDonald, Chairman of the Board, West Point Association of Graduates; Former Secretary of Veterans Affairs, U.S Department of Veterans Affairs;  former Chairman, President and CEO of Procter & Gamble and member of the "Mission 2029 for a Better World" Global Advisory Council said:

"Leadership remains the single most critical sustainable competitive advantage available to organizations. The world's best leaders are rarely looking for their next opportunity—they are busy building great businesses and organizations. Identifying and engaging those leaders depends on trusted relationships built over decades, not simply databases or processes. CEOSource® combines an exceptional global leadership network with deep leadership expertise, giving Boards and investors access to extraordinary talent and perspectives that few organizations can reach."

Nishi Vasudeva, former Chairman and Managing Director of Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL), and Independent Director of Tata Power, L&T Finance and CRISIL Limited, said:

"Selecting a CEO or senior executive is among the most important responsibilities of any Board. The decision demands far more than assessing experience. It requires judgement about character, values, leadership capability, the ability to lead through change and cultural fit. CEOSource® brings that broader perspective to every assignment, helping Boards make leadership decisions that strengthen organizations, inspire people and create lasting enterprise value."

Alex von Behr, former Global Chief Customer Officer of Unilever PLC and Strategic Advisor to CEOSource®, said:

"In today's competitive environment, every day a critical leadership position remains vacant it represents lost momentum. Organizations that outperform are able to identify and engage exceptional leaders quickly, without compromising quality, confidentiality or long-term fit. CEOSource® combines extensive leadership relationships with disciplined execution to help clients move decisively when leadership matters most."

House of Rose Professional® Launches CEOSource®, a Premium Leadership Search Brand for CEO, Board and C-Suite Appointments

Fatih Özkadı and Barış Alparslan set out the company's case for competitive, lower-carbon value
chains and the capital needed to build them.

ANTALYA, Türkiye, Nov. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Beko used its COP31 panels to make the case that climate, trade and industrial policies need to work together, and that finance has to follow, if climate action is to strengthen industrial competitiveness rather than erode it. Fatih Özkadı, Chief Sustainability, Quality, and Customer Care Officer, and Barış Alparslan, Chief Financial Officer, took that message to their panels during the summit's first week.

Climate measures are being introduced alongside industrial policies, trade defence instruments and strategic autonomy goals. These priorities do not always align, and the result can be added costs and barriers across integrated supply chains. Carbon pricing and the European Union's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), which entered its definitive phase at the start of 2026, are changing investment decisions, sourcing strategies and competitive conditions.

The European Commission has proposed extending CBAM to around 180 downstream products with high steel or aluminium content, including domestic appliances, from 1 January 2028, a proposal still to be adopted. That gives home appliance makers a direct stake in the debate.

"Climate, trade and industrial policies need to be designed together," said Fatih Özkadı. "Manufacturers like us buy steel and aluminium, make finished products in several countries and compete in global markets. When carbon pricing, CBAM and industrial measures are not aligned, the costs add up and reduce what we can invest in decarbonisation. For manufacturers working across Türkiye and the EU, recognising carbon prices effectively paid in Türkiye, and keeping reporting practical would make a real difference. Any potential extension of CBAM to downstream products should be assessed product by product, taking account of the combined effects of climate, trade and industrial policies on competitiveness and the transition to cleaner production across integrated value chains."

Beko makes appliances in both Türkiye and the EU, so it sees these rules from both sides. As Fatih Özkadı told the panel, Turkish and European industry have developed together over decades, and Turkish manufacturers invest, produce and create jobs within the EU. Beko's own plants reflect that integration: three of them, its refrigerator and dishwasher plants in Türkiye and its washing machine plant in Romania, are part of the World Economic Forum's Global Lighthouse Network, and the site in Romania also holds the Sustainability Lighthouse designation.

The transition needs investment in energy efficiency, renewable energy, lower-carbon manufacturing, supply-chain transformation and new technologies. Climate finance has to reach projects that deliver measurable, scalable impact. COP31 is the first COP since the publication of the Baku to Belém Roadmap to 1.3T, which sets out how climate finance for developing countries can be scaled up to USD 1.3 trillion a year by 2035.

In December 2025, Beko signed its first sustainability-linked loan, a €200 million five-year facility from the International Finance Corporation (IFC). Its KPIs are linked to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing women's representation in the workforce.

"Industrial decarbonisation is a capital question as much as a technical one," said Barış Alparslan. "The challenge is not simply to mobilise more capital, but to turn credible transition plans into bankable projects. Manufacturers need long-term finance, appropriate risk-sharing structures and a cost of capital that reflects the time it takes to transform factories and supply chains. When the financing structure matches the economics of the transition, technically viable projects become financially investable. Our sustainability-linked loan with IFC demonstrates one way of connecting financing directly to measurable emissions and workforce outcomes."

On 10 November, Fatih Özkadı spoke on the panel "Building Competitive Green Value Chains: Industry, Trade and the Climate Transition" in the Green Zone, alongside Mustafa Tuzcu, Deputy Minister of Trade of Türkiye, Peter Spiller, Partner of McKinsey & Company, Frankfurt am Main and Gamze Gökçen Pilevne of Mercedes-Benz Türk, Board Member of AHK Türkiye, with Dr Pınar Artıran, WTO Chair Holder at İstanbul Bilgi University, moderating. On 11 November, he moderated "Competitive Green Value Chains: Aligning Climate, Trade and Industrial Policies" at the Türkiye Pavilion in the Blue Zone, with Aik Hoe Lim, Director of the Trade and Environment Division at the World Trade Organization, Fatma Canan Nilüfer Dora, Deputy Director General for International Agreements and EU Affairs, Ministry of Trade of the Republic of Türkiye, Peter Spiller, and Dr Pınar Artıran.

On 13 November, Barış Alparslan spoke on two panels at the Koç Holding Pavilion. "Financing Real-Economy Decarbonisation: From Green to Transition Finance" brought together Jean Marie Dumas, Head of Euro Credit and Investment Solutions at Amundi, Anjuli Pandit, Global Head of Sustainable Capital Markets at HSBC, and Orith Azoulay, Managing Director at Natixis, with Nicholas Pfaff, Deputy Chief Executive of ICMA, moderating. He also joined "Financing the Green Transition: Capital, Carbon & Competitiveness", alongside Wagner Almeida, IFC Regional Director of Industry for the Middle East and Central Asia; Mürsel Akbulut, Head of the Climate Finance and Incentives Department at the Presidency of Climate Change; and Jacqui Powell, Managing Director, Corporate Sector, EBRD, with Perihan İnci, Vice President of TÜSİAD, moderating.
