Profile of Joyce Yong

Joyce Yong         

Joyce Yong is the Founder and Executive Director of J-YES Consulting.

Joyce began her career in Senior Executive Search and Recruitment in 1995 when she was 'head-hunted' to work as an Associate to a Partner of Amrop International, one of the five largest executive search firms in the world.

At Amrop Joyce worked as part of a consulting team conducting high level executive searches for blue chip companies and major public sector organisations across a spread of industries, including advanced technology, manufacturing and education.


In 1997, Joyce joined Spencer Stuart & Associates, another of the top 5 executive search firms where she continued specialising in top team searches. She was invited to join the Executive Search and Selection Business of the PA Consulting Group in 1999 and transferred to Futurestep in 2000, following the purchase of PA's Executive Search and Selection Business by Futurestep's parent, Korn / Ferry International. Joyce joined Keene Consulting in 2001 where she built a highly successful practice in the education sector, particularly in international education

In 2005 she set up J-YES Consulting to build on the quality work she has done since 1995. She continues to recruit successfully for her clients in Australia as well as in several Asia Pacific countries, including Thailand, Taiwan, South Korea, Hong Kong and Singapore.

Prior to the commencement of her career in executive search and recruitment, Joyce was a senior conference producer for the International Institute of Research for two years. There she produced a number of very successful conferences for the Higher Education and Vocational Education Sectors, thereby laying the groundwork for her depth of understanding of Education. Joyce spent the earlier part of her career in senior policy and research roles in the NSW Public Service.

Joyce graduated with an MBA from the University of Technology, Sydney in 1995. She specialised in Marketing and Managing Services in her MBA program. Her undergraduate qualifications include the BA Dip Ed from Macquarie University and the Graduate Diploma in Library Science from Kuring-Gai College of Advanced Education (now UTS). She is a founding member and current President of the UTS Business Network, a network for postgraduate business students from UTS. She is also an active participant of the Graduate Management Association of Australia, an association for MBA graduates from Australian and overseas universities. She was until recently a Committee Member and Vice-President of the NSW Chapter of the GMAA.
