Short Introduction

Since 2009 Robert Breitbach Consulting has also been present on the Iberian Peninsula.

From Ayamonte / Vila Real de Santo Antonio, we manage our projects in the west of Spain and in Portugal.

We specialize in assisting European and American companies in the search and selection of executives for their Portuguese subsidiaries and plants.

The appointments are usually C-level positions. In about half of the cases we are looking for Portuguese people for Portugal. But of course, we also have networks and internal resources that allow us to search Europe-wide and worldwide.

About 70% of the search projects contain the keywords: "CEO, Managing Director, Country Manager, Business Development Manager or Expansions Manager". In addition, we have been able to fill many positions in the areas of sales, plant, and production management.

We are pleased that you take the time to visit our "News" page. Here we would like to inform you - updated monthly - about news from the economy and society in Portugal.
