After studying languages in Montpellier, I completed my law studies in Freiburg im Breisgau and Hamburg. I began my career in Hamburg as a trainee and later as a project manager at Gruner+Jahr, before joining the Frankfurt office of the executive search firm Heidrick Struggles at the end of 1998. From 2005, I was a partner there in the &quot;Financial Services&quot; practice, and from 2007, I also became Practice Managing Partner for &quot;Legal, Risk &amp; Compliance&quot; in Germany, and a year later, for the EMEA region as well.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2009 I have been the managing director of Tostmann The Executive Finder GmbH in Frankfurt am Main; from 2009 to 2018 we also operated in Zurich, Switzerland.<\/p>\n<p>My focus is on discreetly approaching and sustainably recruiting leaders, as well as on individual coaching and workshop offerings for executives and committees.<\/p>\n<a class=\"button secondary hidden\" style=\"padding:15px 30px 15px 30px;\">\n\t\t<span>Testomonials<\/span>\n\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-1999582879 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 0px 10% 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-997970432\" class=\"col medium-12 small-12 large-6\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\" style=\"background-color:rgb(241, 241, 241);\" >\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"is-border\"\n\t\tstyle=\"border-color:rgb(211, 157, 55);border-width:10px 0px 0px 0px;\">\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t<div id=\"text-729639415\" class=\"text\">\n\t\t\n<h3>Qualifications and specializations<\/h3>\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-729639415 {\n  font-size: 1.25rem;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<ul>\n<li class=\"bullet-checkmark\">Lawyer with additional business qualifications<\/li>\n<li class=\"bullet-checkmark\">Hogan Assessment Certification (personality diagnostics)<\/li>\n<li class=\"bullet-checkmark\">NLP Practitioner, DVNLP<\/li>\n<li class=\"bullet-checkmark\">Various training courses in the field of management diagnostics (structured (in-depth) interview techniques)<\/li>\n<li class=\"bullet-checkmark\">Training for competency-oriented systemic coaching, IF Weinheim Institute for systemic training and development<\/li>\n<li class=\"bullet-checkmark\">Certification as a systemic coach and systemic consultant in the field of organizations, isb Wiesloch (certified training provider of the DBVC)<\/li>\n<li class=\"bullet-checkmark\">Fluent English and French skills<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-997970432 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 15% 10% 5% 10%;\n  margin: 0 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #col-997970432 > .col-inner {\n    padding: 10% 10% 8% 10%;\n  }\n}\n@media (min-width:850px) {\n  #col-997970432 > .col-inner {\n    padding: 15% 15% 10% 15%;\n    margin: -102px 0px 0px 0px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_2041935221 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n  padding-bottom: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n\t<section class=\"section\" id=\"section_997482895\">\n\t\t<div class=\"section-bg fill\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content relative\">\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-1537333725\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1463767136\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<h3>Consulting philosophy<\/h3>\n<p>Professionalism, transparent communication, trust, and mutual respect are central to my approach, as is a careful consideration of the specific environment. &quot;Who fits in there?&quot; \u2013 This question is the starting point for every search.
