A partnership to build a diverse, high-performing team in Europe, for a global industrial automation leader.
The Situation:
Our client is a mid-sized German family-owned automation company. They were navigating a period of transformation that involved centralising some key functions and restructuring the commercial organisation.
This shift required a new approach to leadership, they sought a recruitment partner who could understand their unique culture, support their transformation, and provide candidates with the right mix of skills to thrive in this dynamic environment.
Our Solution:
Morgan Latif responded to our clients needs by presenting 5 candidates for the Managing Director role in Italy, with two advancing to the final interview stage. The successful candidate was chosen based on their experience in both German mid-sized companies and high-performance international, US organisations, ensuring a strong cultural and functional fit. Leveraging our deep understanding of the German business culture as well as German language capability. Morgan Latif also used our online psychometric and culture assessment tools to further align candidates with our clients values.
The Outcome:
The placements made by Morgan Latif have proven highly successful, and are now considered key leaders in the organisation, indicating their strong performance and cultural integration. We have continued to make strategic placements across various departments, including Sales, Marketing, Commercial Operations, and Product Management, in key markets including Italy, Turkey, Germany, and the UK. Morgan Latif has solidified its position as an ongoing strategic partner for our clients, supporting the company’s transformation and ensuring strong leadership across its commercial functions and regional operations.
“Morgan Latif were already a good match when it came to selecting a suitable partner for the project. I really liked the open and transparent communication from them, they’re always up to speed. We also liked the process and the method, especially the reports, the video interviews in Odro and the Job & Team Match Report. That’s why we decided to collaborate with Morgan Latif in another executive search.”
