Van Pul & Thieltgen

van Pul & Thieltgen brings together retained executive search and executive onboarding services with one ambition: ensuring durable leadership solutions for clients. Founded in 2009 by a former Partner at Heidrick & Struggles and a former Unilever executive, the company combines the approach and personal connection of a small boutique with the rigour and reach of larger executive search firms.

The company serves clients including CEOs, Managing Directors, Business Unit directors and Investment Professionals at Private Equity firms, helping them source and retain the next generation of leaders. van Pul & Thieltgen was established to eliminate distractions and bring retained search back to its core: partnering with client organisations to capitalise on business opportunities and overcome business challenges. The company's sole motivation is to establish and maintain its reputation as a boutique driven by execution excellence.

Based on three pillars of Focus, Integrity and Sustainability, van Pul & Thieltgen operates with the principle of True North: Sustainable Leadership. The company's interest in both candidates' and clients' incentives helps it build leadership teams that endure. As former seniors from both retained executive search firms and blue-chip corporates, the team is motivated by delivering a level of execution excellence distinctive to a small, focused boutique.
