Neon River

Leading Executive Search projects across Europe

Neon River is a specialist executive search firm specializing in helping clients to hire executives across Europe. With a focus on the games and technology sectors, we have a proven track record of finding exceptional leaders across all key functions. Our expertise, meticulous process, and deep understanding of the market make us one of the best executive search firms in Europe.

There are strong technology and games companies in many different countries in Europe and we use our deep sector knowledge to identify and attract the best international candidates on behalf of our clients.

Our high-quality process sets us apart. Every search begins with a detailed understanding of the client’s business goals, culture, and market dynamics. We then leverage our extensive network and conduct thorough market research to identify candidates who meet the unique requirements of each role. This tailored approach ensures that we consistently deliver exceptional results for companies embarking on European expansion.

Neon River has significant experience working with venture capital (VC) and private equity (PE)-backed technology companies. These businesses often require leaders who can scale operations quickly, navigate the complexities of international markets, and deliver results in fast-paced environments. Our deep understanding of these dynamics makes us the ideal partner for companies looking to expand into Europe.

Finding the right leader is pivotal to the success of any European executive search process. These leaders must navigate diverse markets, manage cultural nuances, and operate effectively across borders. They also play a critical role in reporting upwards to headquarters, ensuring alignment with global strategies while advocating for the needs of the European business. At Neon River, we have the expertise to find candidates who thrive in these high-stakes roles, combining strategic insight with operational excellence.

Neon River’s deep understanding of the European market is a key factor in our success. We have extensive experience working across major hubs like London, Berlin, Paris, and Barcelona, as well as emerging markets in Eastern Europe and the Nordics. Our knowledge of regional dynamics, combined with our expertise in the technology and games sectors, ensures that we can find leaders who are well-equipped to drive growth and navigate challenges in any European market.

Our clients are a combination of European headquartered companies and US or Asian headquartered businesses who are looking to expand internationally.

We take great pride in being one of the best executive search firms in Europe.
