Bavaria
Executive Search in Bavaria
Executive search for managing directors and decision-makers in industry, the automotive and supplier industry and owner-managed mid-sized companies, from Upper Bavaria to Franconia.

Corporate capital and a strong Mittelstand
Bavaria combines major corporate headquarters, a broad automotive and supplier industry, aerospace, medical technology and a strong base of mid-sized companies in Franconia, Swabia and Eastern Bavaria.
For mid-sized companies this means they look for executives in the same market as international corporations that compete with brand, pay and career paths. At the same time, many plants and head offices lie outside the metropolitan areas. An appointment succeeds where the candidate understands what he or she gains in a mid-sized company.
What this means for your appointment
01
Holding your own against corporate brands
I translate your strengths into arguments that convince an executive ready to leave a corporate group.
02
All of Bavaria in view
The search does not stop at the city limits of Munich or Nuremberg.
03
Realistic pay
We agree early on which package will hold up in the market.
Exclusive direct search
I identify and reach the people who are not actively looking, in the visible and the hidden job market.
A precise fit
No matching against a database, but a search grid tailored to your requirements.
Transparent terms
I work on a retainer basis, as is usual in executive search. We discuss the details openly in the first conversation.
Typical mandates
When companies in Bavaria contact me
Leadership for SMEs alongside big brands
In Bavaria, SMEs compete with well-known corporate brands for the same executives. The right people are those who deliberately want more responsibility and shorter decision paths.
Growing technology and medtech companies
Growing technology companies need a managing director or division head who creates structure without losing pace.
Succession in Franconia, Swabia and Eastern Bavaria
Outside Munich, many owner-managed companies face succession. The search requires discretion and a good understanding of the owning family.
The other side of the table
The perspective of a former HR director
I know the client's side
For more than 15 years I was an HR director myself. I know what a management team really needs from a search consultant.
I assess what matters after signing
Appointments rarely fail because of the CV, but because of leadership, culture and expectations. That is exactly what I test.
I run every mandate myself
From the first conversation to the signed contract, I am your only point of contact.
