Who we are

Norbert Meyer-Oltmanns, Malte Oltmanns and Dr Robert Philipp

Practitioners with hands-on experience – for key roles that create lasting impact

Meyer-Oltmanns & Cie. is an executive search boutique for critical leadership and expert roles in mid-sized companies, industry and technology. We fill C-level and board positions, management roles and specialist expert roles.

What sets us apart: we know responsibility from the inside. Our consultants have led companies, developed teams, shaped transformations and carried responsibility for results — in national and international organisations. Our experience comes above all from the DACH region, Europe, the USA and Asia, with particular hands-on experience in China as well as Korea and Japan.

That is why we understand not only CVs, but also roles, markets, cultures and the requirements of specific business situations. We combine that understanding with sector knowledge, direct approach and sound judgement on fit — so that we find people who bring the right expertise, fit the culture and make a lasting impact.

Our mission

Our values

We take responsibility for our judgement, our recommendations and the people we bring together. We stand behind what we say – even when it is uncomfortable.

We are driven by results — and by the ambition to find the right person for every key role. People who take ownership, stand behind decisions and make an impact. That is exactly the commitment we expect of ourselves.

 

We work through complexity, name the relevant risks and give clear recommendations. Our assessment is based on experience, analysis and sound judgement on fit — not on gut feeling alone.

We communicate clearly, directly and respectfully. We say what we see — about requirements, people and fit. Even when it is not always what others want to hear. Because clarity is the basis for good decisions.

We think in relationships, not transactions. Our ambition is to create appointments with lasting impact — for our clients, for the people we recommend and for the organisations in which they take responsibility.

 

We are not an anonymous large-scale consultancy. That is deliberate. We work selectively, personally and with a high sense of responsibility for every mandate.

What you can expect from us: direct involvement of experienced partners, deep sector understanding, clear judgement and absolute discretion.
