Happiness Koeppel-Szpilewski

Just as every candidate's profile is unique, so too is every company profile. Successfully bringing these two profiles together and ensuring an ideal fit – that's what fascinates me about recruitment consulting.

I advise and support medium-sized businesses, family-owned companies, private equity firms, and venture capital companies in filling C-level positions. My industry expertise includes the FMCG sector and supporting rapidly scaling startups. My approach is to provide proactive consulting, maintain close sparring relationships with decision-makers throughout the process, and always stay close to the candidates. Throughout the entire recruitment process, it is important to me to act with understanding towards all parties involved, to thoroughly analyze the status quo, and to reconcile the diverse needs. Only in this way can a sustainable and mutually beneficial collaboration be guaranteed.

For me, progressive executive search also means keeping the heterogeneity of corporate culture in mind. I am firmly convinced that diversity in companies brings competitive advantages, and it has always been a personal goal of mine to promote this diversity.

Before joining HEADSAHEAD, I ran my own successful consulting firm, people and profiles, for 14 years. My core consulting portfolio consisted of direct search, personnel consulting, and organizational development support.

Even during my business administration studies, I had my first experiences in the personnel consulting industry as a research analyst for Eligo. There, I was able to help shape a newly created unit where successful sourcing was trained and integrated into daily operations. After completing my studies in Giessen, including a year abroad in Great Britain, I initially worked in marketing in the investment sector. Subsequently, I worked as a consultant at Grey Germany, managing various accounts with a focus on brand development for top German and international brands.

I am a family person and enjoy spending my free time with art, especially sculptures that inspire me.
