Each has relied on our headhunting expertise to secure senior leaders able to guide growth and manage complex teams.
Supporting Global and Regional Consumer Brands
Many of our headhunting assignments involve senior commercial and marketing roles for large multinational businesses. We help companies such as Heineken, Diageo, Paulig Group, The Wonderful Company, PVH Europe, Versuni, Nike and Planted secure leaders who can shape strategy, build capability and manage cross-functional teams. These roles require strong judgement and a clear understanding of Dutch and wider European markets.
Our work with Jack Link’s, Monster Energy, Body&Fit, Danish Crown and CSM Bakery Solutions reflects our depth in food and drink. These categories demand senior talent who understand supply chain pressure, customer behaviour and category performance. We focus on people who combine commercial strength with the ability to influence and coach teams.
Assignments for Yves Rocher, Rituals, Hasbro, Olli Ella and Fritz Hansen show our experience across beauty, lifestyle, toys and design-led brands. These companies need leaders who understand how brand expression and operational consistency work together. Candidates must be able to adapt to fast-moving environments and deliver results across channels.
Expertise Across Technical, Digital and Innovation-Driven Roles
Several of our headhunting projects require knowledge of technical, digital or innovation-focused roles. We have supported companies such as Philips, Kärcher, BISSELL, Pure Fishing, Flokk and Gibson with senior hires linked to product leadership, digital commerce, operational excellence and business transformation.
These positions demand leaders who understand complex systems, customer expectations and cross-border delivery. They must be able to balance daily detail with wider strategic thinking. Our ability to map niche talent pools ensures that clients meet candidates who match both skill and culture requirements.
We have also delivered headhunting assignments for A-Mac, ASOS and Body&Fit across digital, merchandising and online trading. These roles require strong commercial instincts and the ability to work at pace. Candidates must be comfortable taking decisions quickly and managing data-led environments.
Headhunting for Premium, Heritage and Craft-Led Brands
Many Dutch-based businesses operate in premium or heritage sectors where brand identity is central. We have supported companies such as Fritz Hansen, Flokk, Olli Ella, Duvel Moortgat, The Lost Explorer Mezcal Company and Prada’s broader network of partners with senior roles linked to production, supply chain, retail execution and brand operations.
These environments require leaders who can maintain quality, manage specialist suppliers and uphold brand values. They also need people who understand how premium positioning influences decisions in sourcing, manufacturing and customer experience. Our headhunting approach focuses on identifying candidates who can balance these demands without losing sight of commercial goals.
Strengthening Operations and Manufacturing Leadership
We have also delivered headhunting assignments in complex operational environments. Companies such as Danish Crown, CSM Bakery Solutions, Pure Fishing, Kärcher, Fritz Hansen and Flokk have relied on us to secure senior leaders for operations, quality, supply chain and planning. These roles require hands-on leadership and an ability to motivate teams through periods of pressure or transformation.
Assignments for Planted, Body&Fit and Vyta Health reflect our experience with high-growth and mission-driven enterprises. These organisations need leaders who can build structure, improve processes and support scaling without slowing momentum.
