      Aerospace, Defence & Security

      Emerging markets, shrinking defence budgets, constant technological advances, increasing regulation and evolving threats to national security have all fueled a chaotic aerospace and defence market

      As the nature of security and defence moves towards smart technologies, to master this industry, manufacturers and contractors require strategically focused leaders to engage new markets and deliver innovative products on tighter budgets.

      For the established multinational passenger jet manufacturers, scaling production to meet a backlog of orders and rising demand remains their biggest challenge. This has opened a gap for innovative small businesses to gain access to these international programs.

      Germany

      Germany's defence technology and aerospace industries are among the world 's most technologically advanced. While suppliers to the aerospace industry are already operating successfully on markets worldwide, defence technology continues to require the systematic development of new markets and transnational co-operations in order to achieve sufficient lasting economies of scale.

      Our Aerospace & Defence Practice has been guiding highly specialized SMEs and leading manufacturers of aerospace and defence technology systems for many years in their search for and recruitment of executives with the skills to successfully shape and lead the necessary transformation.
