Executive Search in Hamburg
Executive search for managing directors and decision-makers in logistics, trade, aviation, industry and Hamburg’s Mittelstand.
Port, trade and aviation
Hamburg is shaped by its port and logistics, foreign trade, the aviation industry, media and a long tradition of family-owned trading houses.
Supply chains, digitalisation and the energy transition are changing precisely the industries that made Hamburg strong. The brief is for executives who understand international markets and can lead long-established organisations into a new phase.
What this means for your appointment
01
Thinking internationally
I look for people with experience in global markets and supply chains.
02
Respecting tradition
In trading houses, fit with the family and culture counts as much as expertise.
03
Approaching discreetly
In Hamburg’s network people know each other, so every approach is especially confidential.
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 Hamburg contact me
Logistics and port economy
Logistics and port companies are digitalising operations and supply chains. They need leaders who run operations and change at the same time.
Family-owned trading houses
When the leadership changes, long-established trading companies need someone who combines merchant tradition with new business models.
Aviation and industry
Industrial and aviation suppliers are looking for technical directors, plant managers and programme heads.

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.
