Mr. David Bart has been working as a consultant at Senator Executive Search Partners since 2023.
Before and during his studies in business administration at the University of Applied Sciences in Landshut, he was able to gain in-depth insights into various areas of a large automotive group.
At the end of his studies, Mr. David Bart therefore focused on the competence modules Marketing, Sales and Human Resources and worked in the internal sales department of the automotive group.
In his bachelor's thesis, he developed various creative ideas and strategies for content marketing via digital channels for a local and traditional sports club based on his own interests.
After completing his studies, Mr. Bart moved away from the group to a medium-sized forwarding company, where he worked neither in sales nor in marketing, but as a recruiter in the HR department.
Here, the healthy mix of knowledge in marketing, sales and personnel in combination with a very pleasant and friendly character is decisive for success in the recruitment process.
With this know-how, Mr. Bart supports our team in the area of recruiting and tries to find the best possible solutions for our customers.

Dr Peter Buhl is an expert in leadership development. He accompanies entrepreneurs, executives and management teams in success-critical change processes. He advises the company's internal personnel development in the design of qualification processes, designs and leads leadership programmes and accompanies executives, management teams and conflict parties through individual coaching.
Dr Buhl brings entrepreneurial experience as CFO of a start-up company and over 14 years of management experience - also at C-level - to his work. As a systemic coach and systemic organisational consultant, he can provide his clients with sound consulting expertise. As an economist with a broad range of management and industry experience on the one hand and as a psychotherapist (HPG) on the other, he can move confidently in the area of conflict between results-oriented and personality-centred leadership and show his clients individual success strategies appropriate to the situation.
At SENATOR, Dr Buhl accompanies the areas of onboarding and coaching. Especially during onboarding, when new managers are integrated into a company, the risks are very high: both sides usually enter the process with very high expectations. Accordingly, the pitfall is great if the reality does not live up to the expectation. A proven diagnostic tool makes it possible to identify the risk factors and eliminate them through targeted coaching. Often, coaching can even develop additional success factors that were not so much in focus during the recruitment process.
