Insights from Sophie Theen
Cribb advises companies and executives leaders of the digital economy.
We are part of Renovata & Company and we cover the DACH region, Europe, and North America.
As an experienced partner, we work closely with owners and management teams on strategically important talent searches and provide guidance through transformation processes.
Our core competency: Through Executive Search, we precisely fill leadership positions and key digital roles with the right candidates.
With our aspirations and experience in executive search, we are searching for senior experts, next leaders and middle management position.
We help to build boards as high-performance teams that are strong sparring partners and advisors with valuable expertise.
We search for experienced executives to fill temporary management gaps for specific projects or during periods of transition in a company’s structure.
Boards should be greater than the sum of their parts. We help to build boards that are high-performing teams that work together to reach the next level.
With our customised Executive Impact Assessment, we analyse how an individual will develop their impact in your business context.
Digital transformation is about enabling people to use modern technologies so that business models are profitable. This requires specific skills, processes, working practices and management methods.
The start of a new executive should be seen as an opportunity for the company and utilised in the best possible way. We support you with a concrete and strategic plan to quickly and sustainably bring new top performers into effectiveness.
What is often lacking is a strategic approach to HR and the right people to manage change in a consistent way. We find them.
We understand the interrelationships, structures and developments of the ever-changing digital economy before they become visible on the market. Because we were involved in the development of the digital economy in Germany at an early stage, we have the experience and the connections. We know: Whether you are an a medium-sized company or a large corporation, delaying the opportunities of digitalisation puts the future of your organisation at risk. But change also requires a cultural adjustment.
The impetus for change often comes from company management, advisory boards or the top echelons of middle management. However, these leaders often fail to move their organisation and employees in a sustainable way. Digital change must be effective throughout the entire value chain, it must be conceived in a value-creating way and implemented in a positive way that shapes the culture for everyone. This is a learning process.
This requires having the right leaders with core digital values in key positions. We call this “core digital”: people who not only have specialist expertise, but who are naturally better able to deal with the complexity and constant speed of digitalisation. And of course, the leadership team must work as a whole. This is also one of our priorities.
Managers with strong digital values are characterised by a specific personality structure and have specific knowledge and relevant digital experience. Their work is guided by openness, curiosity and a drive to move forward, they prioritise collaboration over sovereign knowledge and see change as an opportunity to better serve the customer. They have an understanding of how technology-driven change will affect their area of responsibility. Great digital leaders are a rare breed. But we find them. Every day.
Leading enterprises know about the challenges of the digital world.
We know how to find the right people to tackle them.
We are consistently voted one of the best HR consultancies in Germany, most recently by WirtschaftsWoche in 2024. That’s because we understand how the transformation of the economy works, how it operates and how it evolves. After all, we have been involved in the development of the digital economy in Germany from the very beginning.
With thousands of successful placements and around 10,000 contacts with digital candidates every year, our consultants have an excellent network in all areas of the online industry.
Recruitment is a systematic process. It is thoroughly planned and methodically executed within an agreed timeframe to be effective and efficient. And with the very best candidates as a result. We plan the search in detail and then execute accordingly. Databases and process tools help us to search and report the results. Recognised diagnostic procedures help us to select suitable candidates. However, personal contact is the key to connecting the right people.
