Fastest Growing Executive Search Firm Opens Berlin Office

BERLIN, Germany, August 3, 2015 — Today True announced the official opening of its Berlin office headed by Sam Kaiser. With offices throughout EMEA, including London, Stockholm, and now Berlin, True is poised to help bring superior executive talent to global companies looking to successfully penetrate the broader DACH countries and the Eastern European market.

True is the fastest growing executive search firm with 90% revenue growth YOY according to independent market research firm Hunt Scanlon Media.

“Our expansion into Germany comes at a time when U.S.-based firms are actively looking to enter the EMEA market or attract leadership teams with very specific skill sets,” said Andrew Banks, True EMEA Managing Director. “We believe this greater demand signals increased confidence in the U.S., prompting companies to ramp up their global growth with high quality executives leading the charge. Sam is a tremendous asset and we are very pleased to have him join us,” Banks added.

Sam Kaiser brings to True extensive experience leading global searches, focusing primarily on Board, and C-suite placements for venture capital and private equity-backed companies. Before joining True, Sam served as a consultant for Renovata Partners, an international executive search firm focused on the Internet, mobile, and software sectors. Initially working out of London, Sam moved to Berlin in 2013 to continue working on international mandates with high growth companies such as EyeEm, Criteo, Soundcloud and Mister Spex. Sam earned his BA degree in History from the University of Oregon and his MA from University College London.

“I’m excited to join the fantastic team at True, the first U.S. headquartered executive search firm operating in EMEA that focuses solely on helping disruptive, high growth technology companies as well as venture and private equity investors,” said Sam Kaiser, principal, True. “Given the increasing size and global nature of the German tech scene, I believe True’s approach, which combines deep search expertise with the industry’s only transparent and real-time analytics platform, will resonate exceptionally well with clients,” Kaiser added.
