Sassenhusen -Executive Search & Interim Leadership
Permanent and Interim Appointments at C-Level, C-1 and Board – precise, discreet and personally led.
I support private equity investors, portfolio companies and growth-oriented SMEs in appointing leaders who stabilise organisations, drive transformation and enable sustainable value creation.
My focus lies on C-Level, C-1 and Board appointments — both permanent and interim.
Every mandate is conducted by me personally, without research chains, without mass processes and with absolute discretion.
Services
Executive Search – C-Level & C-1
I appoint CFOs, COOs, CEOs, CHROs, CSOs and key C-1 leaders such as Heads of Finance, VP Operations, HR and Commercial Leaders. I prioritise leadership impact, ownership mindset and the ability to create clarity in complex environments.
Interim Leadership
In sensitive or time-critical situations, I place experienced interim executives who assume responsibility, stabilise structures and lead through periods of change.
Board & Advisory Search
I appoint advisory and board members who strengthen governance, provide strategic depth and support founders, management teams and investors.
Who I Work With
Private Equity & Portfolio Companies
I appoint leaders who enable transparency, value creation and scalable organisational structures — across buy-out, carve-out, transformation and pre-exit stages.
Growth-Oriented SMEs
I support SMEs in building professional leadership structures, preparing succession and developing investor readiness.
Boutique-Approach – How I Work
Sassenhusen stands for a deliberately exclusive approach:
All documents are personally reviewed, safeguarded and released by me.
Discretion is not a promise — it is my operating principle.
