Executive Search in Berlin
Executive search for managing directors and decision-makers in the digital economy, industry, healthcare and for companies that want to grow in the capital.

Growth needs experienced leadership
Berlin is home to the digital economy and many growth companies, alongside healthcare, industry, associations and proximity to politics.
Many companies in Berlin are at a threshold: the founding team is turning into an organisation that needs professional structures. That calls for executives who know growth from established companies and can handle pace and uncertainty at the same time.
What this means for your appointment
01
Established experience, high pace
I look for profiles that build structures without slowing the momentum.
02
Involving shareholders
With investor-backed companies, I agree the profile with every decision-maker.
03
Searching across Germany
The right person does not always live in Berlin. I also approach candidates who would relocate for the role.
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 Berlin contact me
From start-up to company
At a certain stage, growth companies need leaders who professionalise processes, finance and organisation.
Industry and healthcare
Industrial and healthcare companies in the capital region are looking for managing directors and division heads with build-up experience.
Investor-backed companies
Where investors are involved, management must handle growth and reporting obligations equally well.
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.
