Executive search for the chemical and process industry
Executive search for managing directors and decision-makers in the chemical and process industry. A personal direct approach for companies and sites under high pressure to change.
Energy, regulation, decarbonisation
The chemical and process industry is energy-intensive and heavily regulated. High energy costs, the move to more climate-friendly processes and strict safety and environmental requirements shape management decisions. Investments run for many years and can hardly be reversed.
Leadership here means running a site in continuous operation safely and economically while deciding on its future. The brief is for people who keep technology, costs and safety culture equally in view.
What this means for your appointment
01
Safety culture as a criterion
I examine how candidates have lived safety and responsibility day to day, not just what their CV says.
02
Investment decisions
Experience with large, long-term projects and their implementation during ongoing operations is essential.
03
Finding specialists
The market is narrow. A structured market analysis shows where the right executives sit today.
Typical positions
I work across industries, with roots in manufacturing. Every appointment starts with your company’s situation.
- Managing director
- Site and plant management
- Head of production and engineering
- Head of HSE and quality
- Head of finance
- Sales and business development
