Insurtech Start-Up

“I have known Ulrich Seega since 2014 and found him to be an excellent sounding board and a consummate executive search professional.

Amongst others we worked together on a key executive hire to accelerate a complex transformation process, a hire I made after he suggested the idea having spent time talking to me and thinking about my business.

His deeply personalised approach and ability to quickly develop a thorough understanding of what we were trying to achieve stood out. As a result, he was able to incorporate our purpose and translate strategic requirements into high quality candidates, including hidden gems that we could not have reached otherwise. It was one of those non-obvious candidates that has contributed immensely to our business transformation and on whom I have come to rely, bringing as they do a totally different perspective.”

“Ulrich and his team stand out for delivering quality at the level of any global executive search firm whilst adding the personal touch of a niche consulting business. Ulrich has always taken extra care to understand our strategy and role requirements and deliver a diverse selection of candidates whose profiles supported our ambitious transformation targets.

In summary, we would recommend Ulrich highly due to his personalised approach, extensive network, and efficient delivery capability.”
