Executive Search in Rhineland-Palatinate
Executive search for managing directors and decision-makers in chemicals, the vehicle and supplier industry and the state’s family-owned Mittelstand.

A state with strong neighbours
Rhineland-Palatinate combines chemicals, the commercial vehicle and supplier industry, glass, ceramics and the wine economy with a broad Mittelstand. The state borders France, Luxembourg and Belgium and strong economic areas such as Rhine-Main and Rhine-Neckar.
This location is both an opportunity and a risk. Many professionals and executives commute to neighbouring metropolitan areas or across the border. Companies in the state therefore have to explain convincingly why a leadership role with them is worth it.
What this means for your appointment
01
Winning back returners
I approach executives from the region who are open to moving back.
02
Using the border regions
In the west of the state, candidates with international experience are often worth a look.
03
Understanding family businesses
Owners look for people who fit the culture, not just the CV.
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 Rhineland-Palatinate contact me
Managing directors in family businesses
A large share of the state's economy is owner-managed. A change at the top needs someone who respects culture and tradition and still drives change.
Chemicals, commercial vehicles and suppliers
In chemicals and the vehicle industry, energy prices and new drive technologies are changing business models. Companies need leaders with transformation experience.
Locations near the border
Companies in the Palatinate and along the Moselle and Saar can attract candidates from France, Luxembourg and Belgium. That widens the search considerably.
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.
