About

With 25+ years in sales & marketing executive management for global tech vendors, I understand the challenges of building high-performing teams and the critical role of hiring the right talent for fast growth tech companies. In 2017, I founded Antal International in Geneva to help innovative tech companies across Europe, Middle-East and North America attract, engage, with, and retain the best candidates to drive their business internationally. My recruitment consultancy supports scaling-up and mid-size innovators, especially in AI, SaaS, CAD/CAM, DeepTech, Data Management, EnergyTech and Robotics. Our key focus? Filling game-changing leadership and cross-functional roles that drive positive business transformation: C Level and VP roles, Sales Directors/Managers, Sales Ops, Tech Consultants and Advisors, Marketing Directors, Product Managers, and Product Marketing leaders. Why we stand out: - Deep domain expertise at the intersection of tech and leadership - understanding both the tech and the business requirements. - Strategic sourcing: engaging with passive, high-calibre talent who aren’t openly looking to change jobs. - Trusted advisor to founders & exec teams: We help you stay ahead of your hiring goal, so you can double down on strategy, not staffing. - Outstanding track record on long term hires What we deliver: • Extensive network of elite leadership in sales, marketing, product, and operations. • A hiring engine that runs uninterrupted, 12 months a year. • Successful placements that stick, because culture, capability, and commitment matter. If you’re ready to build your leadership team, develop high performance product and marketing departments, or scaling across Europe or launching in the US, we are ready to help.
