Grown out of leadership experience.
Developed further for critical appointments.
2013
Founded on first-hand leadership experience
Norbert Meyer-Oltmanns founds a specialist executive search firm for the building materials industry. The basis is his decades of managing director and P&L responsibility in international companies in the sector.
2016
Expansion into construction and building services
From its strong sector focus on building materials, the firm develops a broader mandate base across construction: project development, structural and civil engineering, specialist construction, MEP, building services and key roles in the construction industry.
2018
A bridge of expertise into chemicals and industrial process markets
From the building materials industry, the focus expands into adjacent chemical and basic materials markets. Many building materials are produced in raw-material-, energy- and process-intensive industries — with high demands on process engineering, quality, regulation and plant operations. This proximity creates the basis for the first mandates in the chemical industry and related process markets.
2020
Establishing a presence in process and basic materials industries
On this basis, the focus grows further into petrochemical, agrochemical and basic materials industries. Operational excellence, plant availability, HSE, continuous improvement, energy efficiency and transformation in capital-intensive environments become central themes in search and appointment work.
2023
Expansion through a partner structure and new fields of expertise
With the development into Meyer-Oltmanns & Cie. GmbH, the firm becomes broader in scope. Engineering and mechanical engineering, technology, professional services, transformation and international appointments are added as further fields of expertise.
This expansion is backed by clear professional experience: international industrial and leadership experience, technical market understanding, Asia expertise, transformation experience, and practical experience in growth and consulting.
Today
