Our logo symbolizes a sailing ship, but is also the solution to a puzzle in the ancient Chinese game known as TANGRAM. The TANGRAM ship expresses our understanding of leadership and executive search in two ways:

Firstly, we believe that what matters is not where the wind is coming from, but how we set the sails. This applies to just as much to a business as to a ship. On the other hand, solutions to difficult problems don't just happen, neither in a game nor in professional life.

TANGRAM demands imagination, systematic thought and stamina. Each new puzzle calls for a new creative impulse. It's easy to find a solution which almost fits, but it's a fine art to fulfil each and every requirement of the task in hand.

Steering a sailing ship is also a fine art, especially in heavy seas. But with the right captain, a crew can achieve more than the sum of its individual parts. And with the best possible crew, even an unfavourable wind can be turned into an opportunity for the better.

So intellectual and sporting challenges follow the same principle as our search for the ideal manager: Know-how and skills are essential. But the real secret of success lies in the personality of the leading figure and the spirit which he or she creates.
