About Kienbaum Consultants International GmbH

An executive search and management consultancy, Kienbaum Consultants International specializes in creating the perfect match between individuals and companies. It provides advice on all aspects regarding recruitment and the ongoing development as top-level candidates for executive roles, as well as on how to evaluate, compensate, and make long-term commitments to these individuals.

Founded more than 75 years ago as Germany’s first consultancy, the firm is focused on change and potential. Its goal is to empower organizations and the people who lead them to succeed in tomorrow’s professional world, defined by complexity and change.

Searching for leaders of all stripes

While it might be easy to envision an executive search firm focusing only on the obvious C-suite roles—CEO, COO, CFO, and CTO—Kienbaum goes much further. Its offerings include executive search for a broad array of high-level positions across a range of industries. These range from helping companies find their ESG and Sustainability leaders to landing top HR executives, from working with clients in the energy sector to those in heavy industry and healthcare.

The firm is also committed to providing additional management consulting services to help the organizations it serves, and the leaders it places, succeed. It offers organizational development, HR transformation, and corporate acceleration and transformation service. It also has offerings in change management, succession planning, diversity, and compensation.

A history of working across borders

Kienbaum opened its first international office more than 50 years ago, which provides it with an unparalleled understanding of local markets. Today, it has more than 650 employees working at over 20 offices on four continents: North America, South America, Europe, and Asia.
