Managing Director Search at it's Best

Thomas and his team very quickly gained deep insight into the relevant players and were both very efficient and broad-minded in identifiying and approaching high-caliber candidates. They guided us closely through all stages of the process and acted as a trustworthy and strong sparring partner from the very beginning until the signing of the contract. Viavanta’s perfomance was outstanding in every aspect and by far exceed our expectations."
