Paul Koglin

Belonging to the generation “traditionalists”, I was very much impacted by Anglo-American influences, especially in music and literature. They influenced me not only in my youth but also in my entire professional life. After my studies, I had been employed only at companies coming from the UK and the U.S.

Early in my career, as I worked in the music industry, I had my first interesting adventure in the world of executive search experiencing a disconnect between headhunter and client being presented at a music label company for a position as PM for Pop Music but the client needed a PM for Classic Music.

Pop music is still one of my hobbies starting in the swinging sixties with Brit Pop and continuing with American Singers, Songwriters, and R&B/Soul. 
Reading short stories, novels and autobiographies as well as traveling with my wife are also part of my pastime.

In addition, I should not forget to mention that I am a club member of the soccer club “1. FC Cologne” enjoying roller coaster rides of emotions by elevating between first and second league.

I like to work in the executive search business utilising my broad scope of a long-term management career as line and hiring manager but also as developer of high potentials within teams and multicultural and international organisations.
