NextUp

NextUp is a leadership search and advisory firm working at the intersection of European governance and emerging-market execution. It helps companies build finance, commercial, and operational leadership teams for periods of growth, restructuring, transformation, or cross-border expansion. Its services include executive search for permanent appointments, interim executive placement, leadership advisory, role clarity and design, and cross-market hiring.

NextUp focuses on CFO and finance leadership, commercial and growth roles, COO and operational appointments, and leadership positions that shape governance and execution. The firm combines financial and audit-informed evaluation with cross-market insight and a human-led search approach. Technology supports research and market mapping, while each engagement is personally led by the founder.

Operating between Amsterdam, Düsseldorf, and Istanbul, NextUp connects European organizations with leaders experienced in different markets, cultures, and governance environments. Its case studies describe work with industrial groups, consumer brands, a private-equity-backed medical technology company, and a major retail platform, supporting leadership builds across finance, supply chain, production, marketing, technology, and e-commerce.
