Louise Baumann

Executive Search Consultant

Louise has over 20 years of recruitment experience gained across multiple territories, including South Africa, Nigeria, London, and Luxembourg. She leads retained search assignments for executive and non-executive directors, C-level and senior strategic management roles across Sub-Saharan Africa.  She recruits both sector-specific talent and candidates with transferable skills in areas such as finance, general management, operations, and clinical leadership.

Her broad experience has given her depth and breadth of knowledge in various sectors; however, she prioritises working with impact-driven industries that aim to improve the quality of life for humanity and the planet, such as healthcare, real estate, manufacturing, and renewable energy.

Working closely with leaders over the years, she is skilled in quickly understanding business drivers and matching people to purpose.
