Drawing on nearly five decades in executive search, he is widely regarded as one of the deans of the profession in Germany and has cultivated a far-reaching network at the top levels of German industry. The firm is dedicated to solving a central business challenge for its clients: finding the best qualified manager for each leadership task. It focuses on the qualified search and selection of chairpersons and members of executive and management boards, supervisory and advisory board members, and other top leadership roles, and also undertakes select middle management mandates that flow from senior-level engagements. Operating with a small, trusted team, Van Emmerich Consulting conducts national and international searches for large corporations as well as mid-sized and family-owned companies. Every assignment begins with an in-depth assessment of the clients objectives, market position, competitive dynamics, and organizational structure to ensure that each appointment strengthens the business in the market it serves. Sector experience covers areas with significant economic impact, including mechanical and plant engineering, automotive, trade, logistics and rail, construction, and services. Beyond classic executive search, the firm performs management audits to evaluate leadership qualifications and development potential, leveraging insights from prior searches to deliver objective recommendations. Long-standing relationships, built on discretion, confidentiality, and a genuine interest in people, characterize the firms approach; many of todays senior leaders were once candidates whose careers have been accompanied over time. Combining experience, judgment, and a rigorous methodology, Van Emmerich Consulting provides clients with a highly confidential, high-touch service aimed at securing exceptional leadership for the first management level and key roles that shape long-term enterprise success.
