Executive Search in Thuringia
Executive search for managing directors and decision-makers in optics and photonics, automotive supply, logistics and the Thuringian Mittelstand.
High technology in the Mittelstand
Thuringia is known for optics and photonics around Jena, alongside automotive suppliers, plastics and metal processing, and logistics in the centre of Germany. The economy is strongly shaped by mid-sized companies.
Many companies are technologically demanding but little known to executives from outside the region. Demographic change adds to this. The brief is for people who understand technology and are willing to move to the region for a genuine leadership task.
