Bio
Bastian Siebenbürger
I had the great pleasure of working with Sebastian at DisplayPlan and during that time I saw Sebastian´s greatest asset as his ability to grow a business, care and enthusiasm for new opportunities and client satisfaction alike, make him an outstanding business Partner and colleague. We won a few new Business opportunities together and helped the business growing. A really great chap to work with, I'd recommend Sebastian to anyone.

Seb is a likeable and tenacious guy who quickly gains respect from colleagues and clients. I have worked with Seb at various levels from day to day project management to strategic development as part of a senior management team. Seb was instrumental in identifying new strategic directions in Retail and drove this forward with excellent results. I worked with Seb from 2005 – 2012 and it was a pleasure to work with him and I hope our paths cross again one day.

My approach to executive search and recruitment is based on closely understanding the needs, aspirations and values of the clients and candidates I work with. I place great emphasis on building strong, lasting relationships through trust, authenticity, discretion, and communication. I help companies and individuals develop profitable business relationships together by making qualified introductions through search, headhunting and networking. I then work closely with both parties to a mutually successful conclusion. In Executive search I specialise within the retail / retail design, Point of Sale (POS) and Point of Purchase (POP) and Digital market sectors predominantly throughout the UK, Europe, stretching further a field when client demands require Specialties: Superbly well-connected within the Shop Fit - POS / POP market, with an in-depth knowledge of the key ‘movers and shakers’ and trends and activities. Experienced and skilled in understanding and interpreting company culture, working as a partner and catalyst helping companies and individuals manage change successfully, and optimise its effects Contact me on 07725 791851 or seb@nwa-search.com Show less
