Executive Search in Cologne
Executive search for managing directors and decision-makers in industry, insurance, media, retail and the Mittelstand of the Cologne region.
Diversity in the Rhine metropolis
Cologne combines insurance, media, retail and the automotive industry with a chemical and industrial hinterland along the Rhine.
The breadth of Cologne’s economy makes the search demanding. Executives have many options in the region. At the same time, energy costs and transformation in industry are changing what is expected of managing directors and plant managers.
What this means for your appointment
01
Using the Rhineland region
I search across the whole Rhineland, not just within the city.
02
Industry in transition
The brief is for people who manage costs and investment through a period of upheaval.
03
Positioning clearly
I help present your role convincingly against other offers in the region.
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.

Appointments rarely fail because of the CV, but because of leadership, culture and expectations. That is exactly what I test.

From the first conversation to the signed contract, I am your only point of contact.
