Niemann Consulta is a boutique Personalberatung and executive search company working for industries with a focus on brands, retail and wholesale, and with attention concentrated on the Luxusgüterindustrie. Founded in 2008 by Silke Niemann, it sums up its purpose in a single line, bringing excellence into the right position, and it offers individual solutions for filling C-level, management and specialist roles. For more than 18 years it has combined strong sector knowledge with deep market knowledge in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and it measures its own success by whether it has found the perfect corporate fit.

The company looks after the retail, sales and e-commerce sectors and fills key positions inside those businesses. Its core competence is the structured and systematic search for and evaluation of specialists and leaders, identifying and winning the people who help shape or build a company and deliver consistent results, from specialist vacancies through management mandates up to company leadership at C-level. Completed projects are listed across Retail and Ecommerce, Sales and Marketing, HR and Education, Product and Visual Merchandising, Buying and Merchandising, and Logistic and Supply Chain. Its clients come from Fashion and Beauty, Jewellery and Watches, Home and Living, Travel and Hospitality, and Automotive and Tech.

Every search mandate is tailored and personally supervised. The company works with current technology, a comprehensive database and a strong network, and relies on targeted Direktansprache rather than advertising. Its clients include publicly held, owner managed and Mittelstand companies as well as groups, several of them in relationships built over the past two decades, and it has accompanied expansions and new site openings with flexible solutions. Managers and specialists are offered confidential advice on career planning and on finding a suitable position, handled discreetly and, where documents are sent in, under data protection rules. Its values are named as mutual respect, authenticity, sustainability and high regard for people, and enquiries go to [email protected].
