VON BONIN + PARTNER Personalberatung

Founded in 1978, VON BONIN + PARTNER Personalberatung, operating as VON BONIN GmbH and based in Gelnhausen, was a boutique executive search and leadership advisory firm that supported organizations and senior leaders across Germany for nearly five decades. Its core competence combined retained executive search with management coaching, delivered through a highly consultative, partnership based approach designed to create enduring value for both hiring companies and candidates. Over the years the firm built long standing relationships with decision makers, maintained a discreet and methodical search process, and emphasized cultural fit, future potential, and sustainable appointments rather than short term placements. As an independent consulting boutique, VON BONIN orchestrated end to end leadership recruitment for critical roles, ran targeted direct search campaigns, assessed leadership capabilities, and provided coaching to executives to help them navigate change, strengthen performance, and integrate successfully after placement. The firm operated with a holistic view of talent needs and business strategy, priding itself on personal accountability, clear communication, and a pragmatic problem solving mindset even through turbulent market cycles. From 1978 to 2025 the team remained in continuous dialogue with clients and leaders, aligning interests between companies that needed stronger talent than their competitors and top performers seeking forward looking employers. After more than 45 years of work, VON BONIN has now concluded its activities for age related reasons and expresses sincere thanks to all business partners and candidates for their trust and loyalty. The company is no longer taking on new mandates, but its legacy stands in the many successful leadership appointments and coaching engagements delivered, reflecting the firms long standing commitment to quality, discretion, and sustainable results.
