Ashwin Kannan

Managing Director

Ashwin brings four years of BigLaw experience from Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati and Womble Bond Dickinson LLP, where he supported partners in cutting-edge IP practices. Familiar with the tech-driven culture of Silicon Valley AmLaw firms, Ashwin’s true passion lies in working closely with the people behind the deals.

He is dedicated to understanding partners' needs from both business and cultural perspectives, and helping candidates navigate the complex lateral process with his steady presence, approachable personality and resourceful nature.

Ashwin serves CenterPeak’s clients across the US, with a focus on New York, California, and D.C. He has built strong relationships with clients in Corporate, Finance, Private Equity, Litigation, IP, and other areas.

Originally from Bangalore, India, Ashwin studied Creative Writing and Philosophy at the University of Southern California. Outside of work, he enjoys reading and writing poetry, watching offbeat films in LA’s Art Deco theaters, competing in tennis tournaments, and volunteering at a shelter for rescue cats.
