Andreas Berger works as a partner primarily in the competence centers Consumer Goods, Retail and Services as well as Digital and Online Business.

On a functional level, his clients value him as a generalist who delivers convincing results across all functions and levels. As a long-standing marketing professional, he naturally feels particularly at home in the marketing and sales environment, but also values all other functional areas. In addition to classic headhunting, Andreas Berger is interested in aptitude diagnostics and has worked on management audits in the retail sector for Senator.

Andreas Berger studied business administration with a focus on retail and industry at the renowned Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich. After graduating with a degree in business administration, he started his career in the international sporting goods industry.

The switch to the clothing and branded goods industry was followed by intensive years in marketing and product management, which were characterized by successful product launches, high-turnover point of sales campaigns and award-winning advertising campaigns. Responsibility for the marketing of a fashion chain store brought with it not only sound retail know-how but also construction and shopfitting experience. With his own online store, he was able to actively experience the beginnings of e-commerce.

After the turn of the millennium, Andreas Berger decided to put his interest in people and his entrepreneurial spirit to good use as a management consultant. After a successful decade in two renowned executive search consultancies, he found the ideal basis for his consultancy work at SENATOR in 2015.

Today, Andreas Berger primarily advises medium-sized clients from the branded goods and lifestyle-oriented manufacturing and retail environment as well as industry-related service providers through to construction planning. He also advises companies across industries that are adapting their business models and corporate culture to the requirements of the digital and networked world.

With many years of experience, expertise, empathy and perseverance, he accompanies clients and candidates on the often challenging path of reconciling their requirements, needs and wishes. As a result, trusting relationships have developed over the years, which have sometimes turned candidates into clients and former clients into candidates.
