Wilko Grievink
Founder / Owner, High Touch Executive Search
Finds and places senior talent for growing companies. Helps SearchFoundry clients build the right team around their business.
Why SearchFoundry exists
A better home for sector authority.
Large networks provide scale but can dilute ownership and client intimacy. Solo boutiques preserve autonomy but often underinvest in research, marketing and operating discipline. SearchFoundry is designed between those two models.
Brand essence
Where specialist authority becomes a leadership firm.
For experienced sector leaders ready to build an independent executive-search business, SearchFoundry turns a credible niche into a high-performing firm. It combines ownership, craft and a complete shared operating system for premium leadership work.
Strategic ambition: build a carefully selected international portfolio of specialist executive-search firms. Each firm leads in one market; together they create a trusted, cross-sector leadership ecosystem.
