Don Kim Hertlein
WHAT I BELIEVE
It’s the people who make a company successful.
This fundamental belief has driven me to pursue my calling as a passionate and dedicated personal consultant for over 15 years. Since 2008, I have been exclusively dedicated to consulting in the context of filling specialized and leadership positions, with a deliberate approach that avoids industry-specific focus. This allows me to capture and implement best practices across different sectors, fostering inspiration and innovation without constraints.
I serve the companies and industries that personally bring me joy. Genuine joy breeds dedication and excellence. And only through dedication and excellence can sustainable value be created for our clients.
aOver the years, through numerous personal conversations, I have developed deep trust with my clients and candidates. They appreciate the authentic approach and care I bring to my work. My guiding principles include discretion, straightforwardness, maximum effort, as well as meticulousness and depth in the preliminary selection of suitable individuals.
As Claus Hipp once postulated: I stand by this with my name.
