Recruiter for Consumer Goods / FMCG (non-food), Retail, Outdoor & Lifestyle, Packaging Materials
About Dietrich Groth
Originally trained as a controller, Dietrich has taken a rather unconventional career path – a journey that would hardly be possible today. Starting as a purchasing manager, then moving on to become the managing director for purchasing, SCM, and marketing, and eventually reaching the position of Sales & Marketing Board Member. Always deeply rooted in the non-food consumer goods industry, Dietrich has accompanied many careers and nurtured and developed individuals throughout his various roles. Over the years and in different capacities, he has built a robust network of inspiring personalities, many of whom still actively support and accompany Dietrich Groth in his role as a personnel consultant.
Traveling – especially to the beautiful countries of Southeast Asia, enjoying good food (and cooking), spending leisure time with friends while simply being human – these are the activities that recharge Dietrich’s batteries.

Recruiter for the Pharmaceutical Industry, Medical Technology, and Diagnostics
About Thomas Heeger
At a time when changing industries was still seen as a sign of strength, Thomas began his professional career in the consumer goods industry, followed by automotive, and eventually pharmaceuticals. The particular allure for him as a headhunter today lies in the complexity and fantastic progress in research and technology within the pharmaceutical field. It’s a great feeling as a headhunter to be able to connect the best candidates in pharmacy, medicine, and diagnostics with clients, thus contributing to progress in healthcare. It’s the “cultural fit” that makes the difference: the fit of the individual with the company and its future ambitions. And for that, Thomas can rely on his extensive network and executive search tools.
Football and endurance sports serve as both a balance and an energy booster for him. Naturally, he prefers doing these activities in nature. Switzerland offers enticing options for this: swimming in Lake Zurich, running, and mountain biking in the mountains. There’s always a bit of adventure involved. And as a former active footballer, competition and the unwavering desire to win are his daily motivators.
