Executive Search in Dortmund
Executive search for managing directors and decision-makers in logistics, IT, insurance and the industrial Mittelstand of the eastern Ruhr.

From coal and steel to services and technology
Dortmund has left coal, steel and beer behind. Today logistics, IT, insurance and research shape the city.
Structural change has brought new industries, but also intense competition for executives with digital and logistics expertise. Companies need managers who steer growth and bring long-standing workforces with them.
