Dan Frolec, Business Director, Nike, Middle-East |
I spent 9 great years working for Unilever CZ/SK in various leadership positions. Back in 2007, SpenglerFox contacted me to consider a position of Nike GM for the Czech and Slovak markets. There are offers in life which one can hardly reject, hence I joined Nike in Prague. Needless to say that people in SpenglerFox were always very supportive and professional to both client and candidate. After more than a year in Prague, Nike transferred me to Dubai with the objective to set-up a new Nike Middle-East office. This assignment was very different from any previous one in my working life as the office had to be build, team hired, basic business contacts established. In such situations, people usually look for proven solutions. Hence, I contacted the local SpenglerFox office and was very pleased by approach of a small yet enthusiastic team in Dubai. They successfully identified and hired 2 out of 6 members of the Nike start-up management team thanks to their in-depth knowledge of the local market.

Mario Matei, Managing Director, ASSA ABLOY, Romania |
I have had a very special professional experience with Spengler Fox and a very pleasant one, as well.
This is mainly due to Marius Precu’s power of persuasion, his excellent listening skills and his empathic attitude.An excellent communicator, he has shown me his respect and gently he guided me during the entire process of selection.
He built trust in me and I count on his professional advice. Moreover, he approached me with a very diplomatic style giving me space to make my own decision
He is still in contact with me checking periodically if everything is moving well with my new job.
All of these make me to feel I was and still I am important for Spengler Fox and Marius, personally.

Jitka Svobodova, Chief Accounting Officer / IFRS Specialist Cargo, Czech Republic |
It is my pleasure to tell you a couple of words about my experience with SpenglerFox.
I was looking for a new job after my maternity leave. It is not an easy time as a lot of companies are a bit afraid to hire mothers with small children.
I received a very good reference on SpenglerFox and it was recommended to me as a highly-rated professional firm on the market. Our first contact was a meeting in their premises and I felt very comfortable talking to the people who showed their experience and professionalism. Respecting their recommendations, I was able to get a very attractive job - despite the crisis and my challenge of being a returning mother. I would like to give my thanks to them as this was my best experience with a consulting company.

I have over 2 decades of core professional experience, and well over a decade at top management, I have said it before and I am going to repeat it one hundred times if need be, I have never met a crew of crop professionals like those at SpenglerFox, thorough, passionate, very detailed and very precise. They are many things rolled in one: your teacher, counsellor, mother, guide and guard, they simply bring out the best in you. These guys are good, the best of the pack.

Vassilis Efkarpidis, Exports and New Business Development Manager , Papadopoulos S.A. Biscuit and Foodware Industry, Greece |
"A Successful career is like an airplane cockpit. Although most of the time you have the best view in the world, there are times where visibility goes down to zero and you have to navigate through stormy conditions.
Consultancy from the airplane systems has always been proved more crucial than personal flying skills, even the exceptional ones.
I have been at least once in such a journey and although I had the opportunity to cooperate with many well known consultant offices, SpenglerFox has been proved the most valuable.
They have definitely won my respect and I will always welcome them in each of my journeys."
