It is a professional home for accomplished leaders who choose independence — a platform that gives you a recognised standard, a marketing and delivery engine, and a room of true peers, while your client relationships and the work you win remain entirely your own.
We are particularly interested in senior leaders based in Cologne, Düsseldorf and the wider NRW region.
Responsibilities
- Lead senior advisory and value-creation mandates for clients in your domain
- Win and own your client relationships, backed by the TPG brand and pipeline engine
- Set the direction of your own practice — your market, your team, your terms
- Work directly with owners and C-level leaders to deliver outcomes that matter
Requirements
- 10+ years of senior operating responsibility — real decisions, real consequences
- A track record of owning outcomes, not just advising on them
- Deep expertise in a domain — e.g. operations, finance/M&A, growth/GTM, technology, or industry leadership
- Confidence with owners and C-suite stakeholders, and a network you have earned
- The ambition of someone who is decidedly not finished
This is the right next step if you want less bureaucracy, more ownership, and a platform to build something of your own — without going it alone.
About The Principals Group
