Success stories

Selected mandates

  • Executive Search

    Chief Risk Officer

    Financial Services · Frankfurt, Germany

    A mid-cap listed bank was placed under enhanced supervisory review following a control failure. The board needed a risk leader credible to the regulator on day one, without importing a purely defensive mindset.
