About us

Our focus – your added value

Who we are

We are a ded­i­cat­ed Exec­u­tive Search & Human Cap­i­tal Advi­so­ry firm that spe­cial­izes exclu­sive­ly in the Asset Man­age­ment indus­try. We pro­vide holis­tic solu­tions in the fields of exec­u­tive search, team devel­op­ment and in the devel­op­ment of orga­ni­za­tion­al and cor­po­rate cultures.

Bal­anc­ing orga­ni­za­tion, struc­ture and process­es on one hand and moti­va­tion, rela­tion­ships and the human fac­tor on the oth­er hand is para­mount for us. The com­bi­na­tion of these ele­ments defines the val­ues of your com­pa­ny, which in turn define its cul­ture. Devel­op­ing the ways to bring suc­cess to your com­pa­ny is what we do.

Our Philosophy

We are con­vinced that apply­ing ethics in life and in work help gen­er­at­ing stake­hold­er val­ue lead­ing to sus­tain­able results and enhanced suc­cess. This we reach by a high degree of inclu­sion and con­scious deci­sion making.

Our phi­los­o­phy ori­ents itself on the “con­scious lead­er­ship prin­ci­ples”. Exec­u­tives who have rec­og­nized the sig­nif­i­cance of their own iden­ti­ty, of their per­son­al sense of pur­pose as well as of their prin­ci­ples and val­ues and who rig­or­ous­ly imple­ment these in their lives and their work, cre­ate sus­tain­able impact in their func­tion as lead­ers and executives.

It fills us with joy and hap­pi­ness to expe­ri­ence lead­ers and cor­po­ra­tions that engage them­selves with pas­sion for their con­vic­tions and thus achieve supe­ri­or results, way beyond of what they thought possible.

History

Ele­way was found­ed in 2021 by fusion of two lead­ing Asset Man­age­ment exec­u­tive search firms: Haas Asso­ciates and Volk­mann & Cie. Thanks to this com­bi­na­tion can we serve the region­al and func­tion­al needs of our clients even bet­ter. Our name «ele­way» con­sists of the two words «ele­vate» and «way». Our objec­tive is to show ways that lit­er­al­ly ele­vate our clients by means of proac­tive con­sul­ta­tion and our pro­found know-how.
