Managing Partner
NILS RICHTER
About ME
With a career built around solving complex organizational challenges, I specialize in enabling growth, transformation, and strategic clarity—particularly where people, performance, and culture intersect. I’ve consistently taken on roles in environments marked by rapid change, ambiguity, or scale, where strategic thinking and operational precision must go hand in hand.
A central pillar of my professional journey is my long-standing expertise in Executive Search. Since establishing a leading executive search platform in 2015, I’ve been deeply involved in identifying and placing leadership talent across industries—with a distinct focus on technology-driven roles. I combine rigorous assessment with an instinct for fit, aligning leadership capabilities with organizational ambition. This will remain a core focus moving forward.
Beyond search, I’ve led transformative initiatives across talent strategy, organizational design, and leadership development—working within both dynamic startups and complex corporate landscapes. My strength lies in translating strategy into actionable structures, building trusted relationships across hierarchies, and driving long-term value by putting people at the center of business outcomes.

Focus Areas
UPLIFTING THE WORLD OF WORK
I uplift the world of work by helping organizations become more intentional about how they grow, lead, and evolve. I bring structure to ambiguity, elevate people strategy to board-level relevance, and ensure that leadership decisions are rooted in purpose and potential—not just pedigree. Whether advising founders, identifying the next generation of leaders, or supporting systemic transformation, I aim to create work environments that are more human, inclusive, and sustainable. My work helps businesses scale, but also helps people find meaning and momentum in what they do.
