Executive Search
Recruitment of key personnel
At ORDO, we are experts in matching companies with global senior candidates in markets such as Japan, Australia, Russia, Africa, Asia, India, the Middle East, South America and Eastern Europe. We know what it means to work with different cultures across global markets. And we can help identify and recruit the next key employee in your commercial team – whether you are searching for a senior management profile or a commercial mid-level manager to strengthen your organisation.
Hiring just the right profile can be one of the most important investments that your company makes. The right General Manager, Regional Manager or Sales Manager in a new market may be pivotal for whether the market develops and creates the growth that there is potential for. Conversely, employing the wrong person can stop your growth plans completely.
If you are looking for a profile that can develop your sales and distributor set-up, rest assured we will know of a candidate. Our global network of senior commercial profiles includes candidates from large
international groups, as well as on a distributor and master dealer level, spread across markets such as Japan, Australia, Russia, Africa, Asia, India, the Middle East, South America and Eastern Europa, etc.
If you are looking for a new profile at senior management level such as Vice President or General Manager, or at mid-level such as Regional Sales Manager, then we can help match you with the right, unique candidates.

We chose Ordo to conduct a two-day module in Aalborg and Copenhagen, focusing on conveying our values to customer-facing employees, and ensuring our customers feel connected to a sustainable financial institution. Niels instantly grasped our needs and values, which was pivotal for us. The course was characterized by profound psychological comfort, thanks to Niels’ calm and pleasant approach. Post-course, he engaged in individual discussions with employees, making them feel seen, heard, and equipped to move forward.
