Executive Search for Telecommunications
Network rollout, cloud, AI, consolidation — the industry is rebuilding on every front at once. The positions that decide how it goes are hard to fill. And when your shortlist is ready, it is almost all men.
Engineering and sales in one person — that is where the market is thinnest.
Telecommunications demands two things at once: depth in network, IT and data — and the ability to convince large accounts, regulators and investors. Women who bring both do exist. They are simply rarely on the market, because their employers know exactly what they have in them.
We look for them where they work: at network operators, IT service providers, tower companies and in the digital units of large corporations.
From network IT to deal execution
We fill roles along the entire value chain: network and IT, data and AI, large-account sales, public sector, M&A and infrastructure investment.
What we do: We translate between the worlds. A candidate from network IT judges an offer differently than a deal executive — we know what matters to each side.
The result: A shortlist where technical depth and commercial strength are not played off against each other.
Direct approach instead of job ads
The candidates you are looking for do not read job ads. They are engaged, well paid and their employers work hard to keep them. They can be reached personally — and only with an argument that goes beyond salary.
What we do: We identify the women who already carry the responsibility you are hiring for and approach them directly. Discreetly, without routing anything through your company.
Digital sovereignty
Europe is rebuilding its digital infrastructure: sovereign cloud, its own data centres, networks for public authorities and critical infrastructure. Whoever tenders here is not only looking for technology, but for people who understand regulation, security requirements and public buyers at the same time.
What that means for hiring: The demand is for profiles that can translate between network operations, cloud architecture and procurement law. That combination is new, and the circle of women with relevant experience is correspondingly small.
A growing share of our mandates comes from this field — from network IT to sales to EU institutions.
Let us talk about your position.
Whether a position is filled by a woman is decided at the beginning, not at the end — in how the role is cut, in the requirements profile and in who is approached in the first place. We are glad to discuss that before you award a mandate.
