Senator Executive Search Partners is delighted to have recruited Dr Carsten Menzel, with his extensive experience in the automotive, mechanical engineering and medical technology sectors, as a consultant for its partner network.
With his outstanding expertise in the metal industry, Dr Menzel supports companies in the fields of stamping and forming technology, CNC machining, welded assemblies and surface treatment in all aspects of HR consultancy. His main areas of focus are waste management, the circular economy and, in particular, innovative technologies for a hydrogen-based energy supply that utilises waste as a raw material.
He helps companies to fill senior positions in the areas of sales, development and quality, as well as at executive level, with the right candidates. This requires the development of a well-founded job profile that also takes into account the influence of the respective corporate culture.
In addition, he focuses on the growing market for sustainable building construction, home extensions, infrastructure and timber-based road construction. With his in-depth knowledge, Dr Menzel is arguably Germany’s only expert in executive search within this sustainable sector.
As a managing director, he utilised his market and sales expertise to develop successful corporate and sales strategies and ensure their implementation by the right staff in the appropriate roles. His focus was often on building and developing successful sales teams for whom customer focus is the top priority. In addition to his appreciative leadership of staff and ensuring they were deployed appropriately within the company, his main focus was on implementing and optimising processes, as well as managing them using KPIs to achieve the company’s objectives.
Dr Menzel laid the foundations for his professional career by studying physics in Freiburg, followed by a PhD in Essen, which he completed in Münster, with medical physics as a minor subject. Dr Menzel then moved into sales within the automotive industry. Through roles at renowned Tier 1 suppliers as a key account manager, project manager, head of development and head of sales, he developed into a senior manager with responsibility for staff and budgets. Before joining Senator Executive Search, he was managing director of companies with up to 500 employees.
His motto: It is not companies that do business with one another, but people.
