Graham Palfery-Smith wants to make Greythorn a "genuine global player" by 2009, with a turnover of £200m.
Palfery-Smith, who completed the purchase of IT specialist Greythorn last month, told Recruiter: that he would look to grow the company by acquisition "over the next few months", and he was particularly looking at the creative and telecoms sectors.
Global chief executive Palfery-Smith's buyout of Greythorn was backed by private equity house Englefield Capital, although Palfery-Smith declined to reveal how much he had paid for the company.
"We need to think globally but act locally," said Palfery-Smith, "but there's no reason why we can't be a £200m-plus business in three years' time." The company turned over £60m last year.
"The company is also a fantastic springboard to the Asian market which will allow us to build and identify new business."
Greythorn was established in London in 1976 and also has offices in Sydney , Melbourne , Canberra and Seattle UK Clark and Robert Walters.
