Coopers Exec­ut­ive

With Coopers Executive, our Executive Search services now have a dedicated brand presence. For many years, we have supported companies in Switzerland with Executive Search to find the right leaders. Now we have given this expertise its own identity. In Executive Search and headhunting for senior professionals across industries, we focus on humanity, closeness, and long-term connections. Because for us, also at the executive level, it is all about being in good company.

Executive Search & Headhunting with a Humanity

Executive Search is more than filling positions. It is about bringing people together who will succeed with each other in the long run. We believe that a good hiring decision is never based on résumés alone but on shared values, personality, and mutual trust.

Choosing the right Executive Search partner is a matter of trust. So why Coopers Executive?
Because we have been successfully operating in the market for more than 15 years, and placing strategic key positions from the C-level to senior specialists is our passion. As an owner-managed recruiting firm, we are independent and therefore agile. We know the Swiss market inside and out. At the same time, as the Swiss partner of Talentor International, we can also support international recruiting projects.

In other words: with Coopers Executive we are newly positioned, but with the trusted strength of Coopers. We combine our long-standing expertise with the human closeness that has always defined us. Companies and executives alike can trust that we do not just place résumés, but personalities who are a sustainable fit for culture and strategy.

The Coopers Executive Spirit stands for humanity, quality, and partnership. We know that a new job is never just a contract. It also has personal and cultural implications – for executives as well as for companies. That is why we guide everyone involved with sensitivity, reliability, and a clear view of the bigger picture.

As our Managing Director, Christian Biedermann, emphasizes in his interview: “For me, it is clear: it is always about people, not just résumés. Especially in Executive Search, decisions are often complex and far-reaching—for companies and for candidates.”

Operations Director Denise Stuker also emphasizes this approach in her interview. For her, success in an executive placement is determined not only by experience or titles, but above all by the executive mindset: “An executive mindset reveals itself in subtle nuances. Those who are self-reflective, take responsibility, and embrace change shape leadership in an effective and sustainable way.”

This understanding is at the core of Coopers Executive. We are convinced that sustainable placements only happen when personality, values, and culture truly align.

With Coopers Executive, we make visible what has long defined us: individual, human-centered, and sustainable placements of executives.

At the same time, we bring fresh momentum to the Executive Search market. Instead of stiff processes and distant approaches, we embrace a modern and agile mindset. Our goal is to create genuine closeness, build trust, and foster partnerships on equal footing.

We believe that successful placements arise where personality, values, and corporate culture come together. That is exactly what Coopers Executive stands for—today and in the future.
