Antho­ny Baum­ruk is Part­ner at Valdivia Consult­ing GmbH in Frank­furt am Main.

At the begin­ning of his profes­sion­al career, Mr. Baum­ruk worked for sever­al years for inter­na­tion­al finan­cial insti­tu­tions in Corpo­rate Finance in New York. From 2010 onwards, he turned to consult­ing and, during the follow­ing 10 years, built up the finance divi­sion in Germany for what is now a lead­ing recruit­ment firm in the Real Estate indus­try. Here he was just as success­ful in his manage­ment posi­tion as with numer­ous Exec­u­tive Search mandates. He has been with Valdivia since its foun­da­tion and is now respon­si­ble for the Finance division.

As an expert in the Real Estate finance sector, Mr. Baum­ruk supports nation­al and inter­na­tion­al compa­nies in fill­ing exec­u­tive posi­tions. His clients include large corpo­ra­tions as well as medi­um-sized and small compa­nies. In total, he has played a key role in more than 300 search­es for CFOs, COOs, branch and depart­ment heads, finance direc­tors and simi­lar posi­tions. His active network with­in the Finance and Real Estate indus­try spans the whole of Germany. His clients partic­u­lar­ly appre­ci­ate his track record and clos­ing reliability.

Antho­ny Baum­ruk grad­u­at­ed from the Amer­i­can Univer­si­ty in Wash­ing­ton D.C. with a Bach­e­lor of Arts degree in Polit­i­cal Science. His native languages are German and English. Today, he lives with his fami­ly in the Rhine-Main area.

He is an active member of the Urban Land Insti­tute (ULI Germany).

Mr Malik learned the trade of consul­tan­cy at a Frank­furt/­Main-based Exec­u­tive Search compa­ny. He then went on to system­at­i­cal­ly expand his network and his compe­ten­cies, even­tu­al­ly estab­lish­ing Legal & Compli­ance as a new func­tion­al area for a consul­tan­cy. Through this exper­tise, Mr Malik has posi­tioned himself as an expert for plac­ing high­er-level in-house posi­tions. Even before taking up his posi­tion at Valdivia, he was focussing on construc­tion law and real estate law as well as legal fields in bank­ing, such as the capi­tal market, trade and compa­ny law.

One of Mr Malik’s espe­cial­ly impres­sive traits is his precise sense of context and a profound under­stand­ing for his clients and the profile they are seek­ing. On this basis, he caters to our long-estab­lished and solid client and candi­date rela­tion­ships in a way that is profes­sion­al as much as it is person­able. He stud­ied Polit­i­cal Sciences at Marburg Univer­si­ty and grew up in a multi­lin­gual envi­ron­ment, thus speak­ing German, Urdu, Hindi and Punjabi. More­over, he is also fluent in Busi­ness English. Togeth­er with his fami­ly, he lives in the Rhine-Main Area.

Early on in her career, Ms Böser’s path led her to Exec­u­tive Search. Even during her stud­ies, she gath­ered rele­vant expe­ri­ence in renowned busi­ness consul­tan­cies and exec­u­tive search organ­i­sa­tions. Later on, she was involved in numer­ous nation­al and inter­na­tion­al finance and real estate projects. Here at Valdivia, she collab­o­rates with Mr Malik and our part­ners in ambi­tious projects in finance, real estate and construc­tion. She supports the place­ment of exec­u­tives in nation­al and inter­na­tion­al corpo­ra­tions as well as in SMEs.

Ms Böser puts strong empha­sis on dili­gence, profes­sion­al­ism and effi­cien­cy. Her open and empa­thet­ic person­al­i­ty shows in the engag­ing way she deals with our high-rank­ing clients. She already has signif­i­cant expe­ri­ence in our field of activ­i­ty and excel­lent intu­ition for consult­ing our clients and candi­dates in top exec­u­tive positions.

Ms Böser stud­ied Econom­ics at Goethe Univer­si­ty in Frankfurt/Main, major­ing in Finance and Account­ing and grad­u­at­ing with a Bach­e­lor of Science degree.

In the course of her stud­ies, she spent an inter­na­tion­al semes­ter at UE Wrøcław Univer­si­ty of Econom­ics and Busi­ness. Apart from her native language German, she is fluent in English and Span­ish. Today, she lives in the city of Frankfurt.

Since its estab­lishe­ment, Maren Fleck has been in charge of all admin­is­tra­tive matters at Valdivia Consult­ing GmbH. These include Market­ing, HR, IT, gener­al support and advanced project assis­tance, which makes hers a key posi­tion with­in the enter­prise, rang­ing from Exec­u­tive Search jobs to over­all back-office responsibility.

Her career so far includes not only work stays in Great Britain but also posi­tions in the field of Person­al and Team Assis­tance as well as Exec­u­tive Assis­tant in consult­ing, phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal whole­sale and the hotel busi­ness. She possess­es broad knowl­edge, excel­lent commu­ni­ca­tion skills, many years of expe­ri­ence in real estate-specif­ic HR consul­tan­cy as well as a deeply-root­ed passion for the construc­tion and real estate business.

Ms Fleck is a certi­fied trans­la­tor and inter­preter for Legal English with a degree from IFA Erlan­gen   (IFA Insi­tut für Fremd­sprachen und Ausland­skunde (Insti­tute for Foreign Languages)). As a native speak­er of German, she is also fluent in English and French. She and her fami­ly live in the Frankfurt/Main area.

Ms Hein­rich stud­ied in Munich, where she earned her diplo­ma in Jour­nal­ism and Media Commu­ni­ca­tion. After that, she followed a call abroad where she then spent a major part of her life. She expe­ri­enced inter­na­tion­al life in London, Singa­pore and Zurich, where she worked as an assis­tant and office manag­er for renowned enter­pris­es in differ­ent indus­tries, such as consult­ing, luxu­ry goods, educa­tion, and tourism.

She is excel­lent at making contact with people and show­ing sincere inter­est in their needs and wish­es. This is exact­ly why she is such an outstand­ing repre­sen­ta­tive of the service ideals of Valdivia and serves as an impor­tant touch point for our clients, our candi­dates, and our team. Ms Hein­rich commu­ni­cates in German and English, both in speak­ing and in writ­ing. Togeth­er with her fami­ly, she lives in Bad Homburg.

As a student of applied psychol­o­gy, Mr Wander was already able to gain expe­ri­ence in research and manage­ment consult­ing. At Valdivia, he supports us in engage­ment manage­ment and as a research analyst for all areas of our exec­u­tive search — i.e. the prop­er­ty indus­try, the construc­tion indus­try and the finan­cial sector. He moni­tors devel­op­ments in these sectors across the board and iden­ti­fies rele­vant and promis­ing trends and market movements.

His prudence and instinct for rele­vant infor­ma­tion help him to iden­ti­fy promis­ing indus­try topics and poten­tial candi­dates for us. He combines dili­gence and analyt­i­cal skills with a friend­ly, open approach both with­in the team and with exter­nal contacts. In addi­tion to his native German, he is fluent in English, French and Russ­ian. Mr Wander lives in the city of Frank­furt am Main.
