Frowein Executive Search

Frowein Executive Search is a boutique executive search agency with roots in the commodity industry. Founded and led by Maarten, the firm specialises in headhunting and executive search with no fancy processes or drawn-out steps. Maarten listens, understands and delivers solutions that work, much like the straightforward nature of the commodity industry itself. The company's approach cuts through complexity, presenting candidates with distinct profiles rather than overwhelming clients with options.

Frowein Executive Search operates from Overveen in the Netherlands and specialises in recruiting for leadership roles in the commodity and energy trading sectors. The company also has involvement with the Erasmus T&C leadership programme (Commodity & Trade Centre), highlighting dedication to fostering global connections and driving the trade and commodity sector forward. Maarten is known for his integrity and dedication to long-term client success, sometimes recommending against candidates when the match is not ideal.

The company values straightforward advice, genuine recommendations based on industry knowledge, and partnerships built on mutual respect and shared goals. Clients praise Maarten's high-energy approach, smart international network, and well-developed skill for finding people who have a sense of change and risk and who truly fit the job. The company has worked with major players in the energy and commodity sectors including Vitol, ENECO Energy Trade, and other international trading firms.
