Astrid Tostmann Chessboard - The Executive Finder

Focus

"Less is more"

Since I entered the recruitment field, I have focused on the financial industry.

My network has been growing continuously for over 20 years. It includes decision-makers from banks, financial service institutions, financial groups and finance-related companies, and combines leadership experience, management competence, committee experience and specialist knowledge in the most diverse regulated areas of the financial world.

My goal has never changed: to build long-term client relationships and cultivate a diverse client portfolio. This diversity encompasses institution sizes, ownership structures, and business models – from regionally focused institutions to specialized providers and internationally operating financial companies. Transparent communication and clearly structured processes are crucial for a successful project.

Specialization in the following candidate profiles within the financial service industry:

  • Focus on the recruitment of responsible executives and supervisory board members/committees in the context of growth, change and succession planning.
  • The focus is on individuals who not only impress with their expertise, but also possess transformative abilities, strong communication skills, and a clear understanding of governance requirements and risk culture.

Focus areas:

  • Overall bank management (risk, finance, operations, IT)
  • Functions (HR, Legal, Compliance, Audit, Sustainability, Regulatory)
  • Digitalization and Transformation
  • Retail, Asset Management, PWM, Capital Markets, Corporate Banking
  • Processes
  • Data Analytics and Data Management
  • Cyber and Fraud
