A Successful Executive Search by Sabine Higgen of Departer
My name is Maik Altendorf and I am delighted to announce that Sabine Higgen of Departer successfully recruited me as the Managing Director for the Kanalservice Group in Germany during her Executive Search process. The challenge involved identifying a candidate with extensive experience in leading a corporate group, capable of executing the Buy & Build strategy through the integration of portfolio companies into the group structure. Additionally, the selected individual needed to demonstrate the ability to lead and develop the group with full P&L responsibility. A specific focus was placed on fostering synergies among the companies in the southwest German region. Utilizing my substantial leadership expertise and technical proficiency, I successfully aligned with and fulfilled these specified criteria.
