Managing director search
Finding the right leadership.
A managing-director search starts with the work that needs doing. We refine the role and organise a clear selection process for operational leadership, a transition period or the establishment of a new company.
Let’s talk it throughGo beyond the overview. Explore how it works.

The engagement / 01
Define the substance of the role
A job title alone does not define an appointment. We clarify the decisions ahead, the team to be led and how the relationship should work in practice.
Responsibilities and experience
Sector, company stage, languages and leadership duties become concrete requirements. Essential capabilities are distinguished from useful additional experience.
Authority and reporting
Decision-making authority, information duties and shareholder coordination are addressed early. Your appointed advisers handle the legal formulation.
The engagement / 02
Make the selection understandable
Consistent criteria support fair, informed comparison. We structure discussions and record unresolved points without replacing missing evidence with assumptions.
Understand the working style
Practical business scenarios reveal how priorities are set and decisions communicated. This matters particularly for interim appointments.
Suitability and availability
Availability, potential conflicts of interest and required evidence are clarified. Personal information is handled within the agreed selection process.
The engagement / 03
Prepare a workable start
A sound selection process ends with an organised handover. We help assemble knowledge, access and the most important outstanding decisions for the start.
The first weeks
Cash position, important agreements, contacts and upcoming dates form the handover pack, giving the new leader a reliable orientation.
Review the relationship
Agreed objectives and regular discussions make progress visible. For temporary appointments, the eventual handover is considered from the beginning.
Support that fits the work ahead.
Choose a starting point for discussion. Tasks, participants and fees are agreed individually.
Define the role
Define the assignment before looking at candidates.
- Operating responsibilities and decision rights
- Experience and availability requirements
- Handover and representation model
Set the search scope
Establish suitable criteria and geographic boundaries.
- EU or international search scope
- Suitability and reliable references
- Professional assessment of residence and employment questions
Coordinate the start
A suitable appointment needs clear working arrangements.
- Obtain separate review of engagement and contracts
- Clarify location and address requirements
- Induction and reporting lines
A basis for discussion, not a binding service catalogue. Selection confirms neither availability nor professional authorisation. Any required legal, tax or specialist work is separately agreed and commissioned.
Questions about our work.
01Is a managing director merely a formal contact?+
No. A corporate office carries real duties and responsibility. The role, suitability and legal obligations must be clarified carefully before an appointment.
02Can the search be handled confidentially?+
The information circle and approach to candidates can be agreed. This does not replace or remove statutory disclosure and registration obligations.
