Cologne, 13.02.2024

Success in companies is largely determined by the right leaders. EO Executives is an international executive search consultancy that has made it its mission to support companies in attracting precisely these leaders - their "Best Leadership Team Ever". But the best leadership team can only be identified and assembled by the best team of consultants.

That is why EO Executives is proud to welcome five exceptional talents to its ranks as new partners in the first quarter of 2024. Norma A. Hunter, Vassilios Ghenidis, Dan Trapp, Stephan Becker and Eric Teston will strengthen EO in future with their expertise in the field of executive search. The five new partners will bring new international perspectives and further expand the industry spectrum of the successful executive search consultancy.

Partner & Cluster Leader – Digital Technologies

Eric Teston joins the team of EO consultants as an expert in functioning digital solutions. It is particularly important to him to dynamically connect people and technology and thereby create added value.

Strong Partnerships, Strong Results

EO Executives Focusses on Diversity and Commitment

It is essential for any success to attract the right people for your project - those who not only work in the company, but also enrich it with expertise and a genuine passion for their industry. But these people have certain expectations of their company. They want to devote their energy to a cause that is really worthwhile - and in an environment that gives them the opportunity to surpass themselves.

In the last quarter of 2023, EO Executives was already recognised as one of Germany's leading executive search consultancies by WirtschaftsWoche magazine. The addition of five such strong and committed partners to the EO team once again confirms that the EO principle, "The EO Way", works and produces excellent results - results that also impress experts with decades of experience, as all five new partners bring to the table.

The diversity and commitment of the new partners reflects EO Executives' vision, which emphasises collaboration, innovation and client satisfaction. With this strong team, EO Executives is well equipped to continue its international expansion in the coming months and maintain its position at the forefront of the executive search industry.
