Jessica Volkwein specialises in the industrial sector, primarily, and in the automotive sector for more than 20 years. Her focus has been on filling management positions in the operational and technology environment of internationally operating and large family-owned companies. Her success is characterised by many years of cooperation and her personal assumption of responsibility for each individual project. In selecting the best managers and executives, she pays particular attention to the "cultural fit". Her clients particularly appreciate her ability to assess a candidate's classical competencies and personality.
In recent years, Jessica Volkwein has been intensively involved with the topic of electric mobility and has built up a thorough network and know-how in this field as well. Since 2017, she has also been Head of Practice Group Automotive within our international Penrhyn network. In addition to her many years of automotive expertise, she also has extensive project experience in the field of renewable energies (wind-onshore/offshore industry) and fossil energy generation.
