Industry expertise
The experts at Atreus know their business – and that of their clients. Why? Because they themselves have been demonstrably successful in their industries for years. From CxO to division managers with expert status.
As strong implementers, our managers use even complex missions as an opportunity to achieve impressive results for their clients.
Knowers, Makers, Movers
The six dimensions for project-related determination of the “perfect match” between requirement profile and manager skill set.
01 Mission Critical Expertise
Some missions have a lot at stake – sometimes, everything. Here we guarantee a placement that has been extremely successful in completing missions in the past where failure was not an option.
02 Project Fit Leadership
Some missions require a fist to get them completed, others an outstretched hand. Sometimes the lone fighter fits perfectly, sometimes the team player. We measure projects in terms of leadership psychology and suggest optimal characters.
03 Transformational Experience
Having realistic ideas about the here and now requires a high degree of objectivity. Atreus Managers are able to grasp actual conditions with analytical precision. And they know the destination of the journey from A to B – from previous experience. This is the only way to ensure successful transformation.
04 Result oriented stamina
Interim managers come to go. Atreus sees this as an opportunity to work exclusively with a focus on results. Too much applause from all sides is often a contra-indicator. Atreus Doers stay on course with clear, predefined goals. Even in the face of headwinds.
05 Qualified+ Track Record
Atreus managers should not grow through their projects – our clients should grow through Atreus managers. That’s why we only place staff with the right fit at an expert level that exceeds the required level.
06 Immediate Availability
More than 18,000 highly qualified professionals in German-speaking countries and over 100,000 top managers in in a global network with Heidrick & Struggles enable Atreus to fill virtually any requirement, asap. Sometimes even within 48 hours.

Areas of expertise
For us, “interim management, taken a step further” means:
Strategically selected resources with a perfect project match take on full responsibility for a limited period of time. In each of our managers, senior industry expertise meets distinctive specialist knowledge. Added to this are project-relevant leadership qualities and an uncompromising focus on results.
We call it “Qualified+ Expertise”. Our clients call it brilliant.
