Andreas Schönemann
Managing Partner and Personnel Consultant
Andreas Schönemann fills leadership positions in mid-sized companies — focused on people who carry responsibility and move markets. As Managing Partner at Pape Consulting Group, he has worked since 2010 at the intersection of executive search and leadership advisory, with a focus on packaging, risk management and B2B sales.
His approach goes beyond the résumé: how someone makes decisions, how they handle pressure, what drives them — these are the questions that make a placement last.
I fill positions where stress resilience, persuasiveness and organizational talent matter — most of the time these are sales positions: Sales Manager, Account Manager, Key Account Manager. That said, I work across all types of leadership roles.
My clients are managing directors and sales leaders in mid-sized companies who have no tolerance for wasted effort. I work on a retained basis and approach candidates directly in the market — no job postings, no waiting for applications.
What sets me apart from a pure matchmaker: I am interested not just in résumés, but in people. How someone makes decisions, how they take on responsibility, how they act under pressure — these are the questions that make a placement successful in the long run.
My own career began in East Germany — as a office machine mechanic with university entrance qualification, followed by university studies, sales, management training, organizational development, managing director, and finally executive search. I have been a Partner at Pape Consulting Group since 2010.
Alongside my work in executive search, I engage with questions of judgment and philosophical practice — as a full member of the Association for Philosophical Practice (BV-PP) and the International Society for Philosophical Practice (IGPP). From this work, my philosophical newsletter and practice at alzando.de have emerged.
If you have a leadership position to fill, or are planning your own next step — let’s talk.
