Lower Saxony
Executive Search in Lower Saxony
Executive search for managing directors and decision-makers in the automotive and supplier industry, the food industry, energy and the Lower Saxon Mittelstand.

A large state between the car industry and the energy transition
Lower Saxony is shaped by the automotive and supplier industry, a strong agricultural and food industry, the ports on the coast and a growing wind energy sector. Many companies are located outside the metropolitan areas, in mid-sized towns and rural regions.
The transformation of the car industry and the energy transition are changing the leadership that is needed. Anyone filling a managing director or plant manager role in a rural area has to win experienced managers for a location that is not in a big city.
