Quote Mark Icon

Seb is as good as they come in the executive search world. For me he has been a great thought partner, an organized thinker, and has relentlessly pursued and achieved our desired outcomes. His sense of urgency and understanding about the need to hold a very high bar are impeccable.

John D'Agostino
EVP Global Sales, Qualtrics

It was a real pleasure working with Sebastian and Renaissance. They delivered an excellent stream of candidates, adjusted well to our requirements and understood our asks and needs.

Arnon Dinur
Partner, 83North

Renaissance took time to get to get to know our business and our culture, it was important to us to have a truly international search and Renaissance delivered. We appreciated the fact that they introduced us to a variety of candidates, but never too pushy, and took into account our feedback to continuously narrow the search until we met Belén, who really impressed us and at every part of the process it was more and more obvious she was the right person.

Richard Yardsley
Chief People Officer, Malt
