Karin John

Executive Search & Research Partner

«Everyone has their place. Finding it and creating the right connections inspires me every day.»

Karin John is the founder and owner of JohnResearch AG. For over 23 years, she has supported companies in filling specialist and executive positions in industry, financial services, IT, high-tech, consulting, medical technology, and consumer goods. Her focus is on demanding search assignments, where the right individuals aren't found through conventional job postings, but through a targeted direct-search approach, creative search strategies, and in-depth market knowledge.

She sees executive search as the art of bringing people and companies together in a lasting way. Thanks to her extensive network and strong research expertise, she identifies even hard-to-reach candidates and creates connections with real, lasting value. Entrepreneurial thinking, empathy, active listening, and efficient execution define the way she works. She recognizes potential, builds trust, and guides search processes with commitment, discretion, and a high level of reliability.

Karin John is married and loves to travel the world. She finds balance in nature, while hiking, on the tennis court, and through culinary discoveries. Time with family and friends is especially important to her, as are inspiring encounters with people from different cultures and life paths.
