Newpeople has been a thought leader in digital leadership for over 18 years. With our executive search and interim solutions services, we work for organizations that are changing from ‘old to new’ and are in different phases of digital transformation and for the ‘pure players’ who started digitally and where growth is central (start-ups, scale-ups and grown-ups). Within the digital domain we work on both commercial and technical positions of ultimate responsibility, senior and executive. We also fulfill digital supervisory functions.

We are here to drive change by humanizing digital transformation and growth for leaders in Europe.

We inspire our clients to look differently and to build a sustainable future together. We do this by defining the different phases of digital maturity and linking them to the right type of leadership and associated team. We have a leadership model for this ourselves. We work for beautiful organizations that focus on digital transformation or digital growth, such as Swapfiets, Booking, Ballast Nedam, Ring, MyWheels, Egeria, TakeAway, Nordian Capital, Intergamma, Felyx, KPN and Catawiki.
