Executive Search in Schleswig-Holstein
Executive search for managing directors and decision-makers in the maritime economy, medical technology, food, energy and the Mittelstand of Schleswig-Holstein.

Between two seas and close to Hamburg
Schleswig-Holstein combines the maritime economy, wind energy, medical technology and the food industry with a broad Mittelstand. The south of the state is closely interlinked with the Hamburg metropolitan region.
Proximity to Hamburg is both an advantage and competition: many executives commute to the city. At the same time, the energy transition is opening up new business areas that need experienced leadership.
What this means for your appointment
01
Competing with the metropolis
I show candidates what a leadership role in the state offers compared with Hamburg.
02
The energy transition as an opportunity
For new business areas it pays to look at profiles from adjacent industries.
03
Northern Germany as the search area
The search extends from Hamburg to Kiel, Lübeck and Flensburg.
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.

I work on a retainer basis, as is usual in executive search. We discuss the details openly in the first conversation.
