Helga Uebbing
Senior Partner
Mechanical Engineering & Automotive
Seeking continuous improvement, I see changes as opportunities and find solutions by facing problems. Be positive and trust, find solutions with a focus on people, and always believe in the best of the person. Bring extraordinary people together. Place the right person in the right position.
Henning von Barsewisch
Partner
Renewable Energy Industry
I have sat on both sides of the table: as the executive making hiring decisions, and as the person being recruited. That dual perspective shapes how I work – with genuine curiosity about what drives people, and a deep understanding of what companies in the energy sector truly need from their leadership.
Based on retained search mandates, I support organisations across Europe and beyond in finding the leaders who move them forward – and help executives take their next meaningful career step. These relationships are built to last, on the basis of deep understanding, trust and shared purpose.
As a Partner of Brandt & Partners, I combine my own industry expertise and network with the proven structure, brand and methodology of an established Executive Search firm – bringing together the best of both worlds for my clients and candidates.
Martin Meister
Partner
IT & Digitalization
My Value driven approach combines strong leadership with the energy from within the organization. It creates clarity, delivers quick wins, and ensures sustainable change – without the weaknesses of traditional top-down consulting. Supported by a diagnostic model, we set the right priorities at the right time and keep orientation throughout the transformation.
This approach works wherever transformation under high pressure and complexity is required. It is transferable to other types of organizations and proves effective when transformation needs to be initiated, accelerated, or brought back on track.
With more than 25 years as a CEO leading digital transformations, turnarounds, and growth initiatives, I know the challenges firsthand. I bring clarity, focus, and hands-on execution to help organizations thrive in a world shaped by disruption and complexity.
Mathias Schmelter
Partner
Automotive Seating, Interior & Safety
My career highlights include launching multiple production facilities across Europe, North America, and Asia, managing large-scale supply chain operations, and overseeing multimillion-euro program budgets. I’ve enabled organizations to scale from €450M to €1.5B by implementing robust Program Management standards, introducing KPI-driven processes, and reorganizing teams for enhanced efficiency and customer focus.
My work extends beyond Software-Defined Vehicles (SDV). I collaborate with clients to develop innovative partnership models, streamline operations, and align strategy with execution. By combining a global perspective with a hands-on, results-oriented approach I help businesses turn complexity from a competitive advantage into a collaborative advantage, unlocking long-term performance.
