AUCKLAND Project Teams
AUCKLAND PARTNERS offers complete Project Execution Teams.
Besides our own AUCKLAND Interim Managers network we provide senior and junior experts / specialists, project managers, consultants and young professionals for Project Execution Teams. From junior programmers for an IT project team to experienced compliance auditors for a cost analysis project. Our service and approach is unique in the market.
AUCKLAND Executive Search
AUCKLAND PARTNERS is a strong partner for permanent placements for executive positions, especially in cases where an interim assignment can start as a quick solution and this can lead to a permanent assignment.
For Executive Search AUCKLAND PARTNERS utilizes the same methods as in Interim Management. This makes us much faster than traditional executives recruitment.
AUCKLAND Transformation of Portfolio Companies
In the Private Equity industry we typically work for mid-sized PE companies (€ 200m - € 1b), supporting the performance-critical transformation phase after a transaction, eg post-merger integration programs, support for operational improvement projects, growth projects, consolidation / restructuring, carve-outs.
In this case, AUCKLAND PARTNERS provide experienced consultants, interim managers, experts, teams and supervisory or advisory boards.
