Dr. Wenger Executive Search

A Düsseldorf-based executive search boutique, founded in 2025 by Dr. Philip Wenger, is owner-operated. Dr. Wenger personally oversees each project and has nearly 25 years of expertise in executive search and leadership consulting. We assist owner-managed and mid-sized businesses throughout Germany, Austria, and Switzerland in finding and selecting candidates for C-level, Vice President, and Director positions. Our strategy involves structured market mapping, direct searches, and leadership assessments. Each project adheres to a clearly outlined process, starting from role definition and target company mapping, leading up to shortlist creation and final selection. Our clients appreciate our personal accountability, clear communication, and a focus on long-term compatibility. We prioritize quality over quantity, providing curated shortlists with specific recommendations rather than simply delivering batches of CVs. Common mandates include CEO succession, VP Country Manager roles, and key leadership positions in sales, procurement, operations, finance, and supply chain.
