We are delighted to welcome Robin Paßmann to Mercuri Urval (MU) as a new Engagement Manager based in Hamburg. Robin brings around ten years of experience in recruitment consulting, including five years in executive search, with a focus on appointing leadership and key expert roles across technology, digitalisation, and transformation in the DACH region and selected international markets. At MU, Robin joins the Technology & Digital Practice with a cross-industry focus. He supports clients in appointing critical leadership and specialist roles at the intersection of technology, business, and organisational transformation.
“What particularly attracted me to Mercuri Urval was the combination of high professional standards, a strong advisory mindset, and an entrepreneurial environment. I also value the distinctly European perspective: working across countries and markets without being limited by national boundaries, while staying close to clients and their specific contexts.” – Robin Passmann
His work includes mandates for CxO, and other senior technology leadership roles, as well as positions in digital transformation, cybersecurity, data, governance, and strategic technology functions.
Before joining MU, Robin worked at Robert Half Executive Search in Hamburg, most recently as Senior Associate Executive Search. In this role, he managed executive search assignments across the DACH region and internationally, advising clients throughout the full search and selection process for senior leadership appointments.
A significant part of Robin’s consulting experience lies in technology-driven and regulated environments. He has worked primarily with SME clients, complemented by selected assignments in enterprise environments. This background enables him to combine technology and transformation topics with a strong understanding of organisational structures, business requirements, and complex stakeholder environments. Robin stands for a structured and outcome-oriented approach to executive search, combining sound judgement, analytical assessment, inclusive selection processes, and a strong focus on long-term organisational fit.
“I’m looking forward to working with colleagues across practices and countries on complex leadership assignments in technology and transformation. While intuition and personal interaction will always play an important role in our work, I strongly believe that sustainable hiring decisions need to be grounded in data, structured assessment, and a clear understanding of organisational fit.” – Robin Passmann
His appointment further strengthens Mercuri Urval’s ability to support clients in building sustainable leadership and expert teams within the evolving technology and digital landscape.
