Jan Pautsch
Berlin-Based Headhunter Specializing in Expert and Senior Executive Searches for Digital Transformation

With extensive experience as an executive in the digital industry, I provide businesses with access to transformative talent. As a Systemic Business Coach (BC)®, I offer consulting services throughout the hiring process.

I partner with tech-first ventures, early-stage startups, and companies engaged in digital transformation and innovation, including examples like BCG Digital Ventures, Berylls Digital Ventures, Nakama Labs, Personio, Xayn, McKinsey Digital Labs, innogy Garage, and Oetker Digital.

I focus on expert and senior executive searches, with notable placements including Chief Product Officer, Chief Design Officer, Executive Director of Lean Industry Transformation, Head of Product, and Head of Growth.

Currently, I lead Kooku X, the Expert Search Service at Kooku Recruiting Partners. Previously, I co-managed Cogs Berlin, the German branch of Cogs, a global talent consultancy.

Before I moved into headhunting, I held business leadership and executive design positions at major German digital agencies. In an interview with Lürzer's Archive, I shared experiences from this time. You can read it here.

I’m a member of the International Academy of Digital Art and Science, a juror of the Lovie and Webby Awards. I also volunteer for Ironhack, muse case labs and ReDI School.

More background to my career from designer to headhunter can be found in this Interview with the University of the Arts, London. For a detailed overview of my work experience, please visit my LinkedIn Profile.
