About us

Executive Search built on business understanding.

Apollo Office 08

Apollo Executive Search was founded in 2017 with the belief that successful leadership appointments require more than access to candidates. They require a deep understanding of businesses, leadership teams and the context in which organisations operate.

Today, Apollo is the largest Netherlands-focused executive search firm founded after 2010. The team combines executive search expertise from leading international firms with backgrounds in strategy consulting, private equity, entrepreneurship and senior business leadership.
