Our approach is:

• People-oriented
  • What do we mean by that? In addition to the required professionalism and entrepreneurship, we see a new generation of leaders who take into account the values of the business, the culture and the fit with the organization and the people. To look beyond mere strategy and business to include the human factor, so plans can be realized together with the people.
• Professional
  • In order to understand the entrepreneurship that is deeply engrained in the DNA of these types of businesses, experience and professionalism is key.  We offer not only analysis and selective capabilities, but we are also truly involved and understand the history and desired change for the future, taking into account the culture and core values.
• Careful
  • In addition to speed, a careful approach is equally important. We engage all stakeholders in the business, B of S and shareholders. This ensures the necessary support and approval when it comes to the final appointment. We always maintain a transparent and personal process, both during the search phase and in the subsequent support and on-boarding.
