General Manager DACH
Global crop protection company · Germany

From our base in the United Kingdom we appoint the leaders who shape agriculture and life sciences across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, from the boardroom to every country team.
Chaseman Global is a specialist search firm for agriculture and life sciences across EMEA. We appoint CEOs, chief officers, EMEA and country leaders and specialist teams for global multinationals, family-owned European companies and venture-backed innovators. The firm was founded in the United Kingdom in 2012.
Europe is home to the headquarters of many of the world's crop protection, crop nutrition, seed and biologicals companies and to a regulatory framework much of the industry plans around. The leaders hired here often run a global business, a global portfolio or global science.
Our completed EMEA assignments include a Chief Executive Officer, Chief Business Officers, a Chief Commercial Officer, a Chief Product Officer, a Head of EMEA, a General Manager DACH and a Vice President of AgTech for a global crop nutrition company. We map every market country by country and run approaches in the local language where it matters, which is how we mapped 180 people for a single key account role in the Netherlands and 238 for a first key account hire in DACH.
One global firm. Our AMERICAS, EMEA and APAC teams work as one, so a shortlist for a role in this region is drawn from wherever the best people are.
Customers, distribution, language and employment law differ by country, so a pan-European search still has to work locally.
How we solve it. We map every country separately and run approaches in the local language where it matters.
Notice periods are often long and contract terms vary from country to country.
How we solve it. We plan the timeline around notice from the start and manage every offer to local practice.
Companies entering a new country often need people on the ground before they have a local company.
How we solve it. Chaseman OnDemand can employ the hire compliantly from day one.
Every search follows our ten-step retained process: a target universe you approve, confidential named approaches, assessed candidates and a target of a shortlist within 21 working days, backed by our 12-month written guarantee.
