About Leopold

Most companies don’t struggle to find candidates.
They struggle to hire people who actually move the business forward.

That’s where I come in.

I work with founders, CEOs and leadership teams in SaaS, digital and commercial environments to identify and secure execution-ready operators who can step in and drive revenue, structure teams, and deliver results.

My background is in executive search, with a focus on:

- Commercial roles (Sales, Growth, Country Managers)

- Digital & Marketing positions (CMO, Head of Growth, Performance)

- Customer & Revenue functions (Customer Success, RevOps)


What sets me apart is a business-first approach to hiring:

I evaluate how a candidate will impact your revenue, team structure and growth trajectory.


I typically support with:

- End-to-end recruitment (from briefing to offer)

- Market mapping & competitor talent analysis

- Headhunting of passive candidates across Europe

- Candidate qualification focused on business outcomes (not just experience)

- Strategic hiring advice (role scope, positioning, compensation)

I work best with companies at growth or inflection stage who need to make the right hire — not just a fast hire.

If you’re looking for someone who understands both talent and business impact, we should speak.
