Bert Schiphorst is a highly experienced senior executive search professional and has been with Boyden since 2007. His main focus is on senior management and director level positions.

In 1981, he joined a leading recruitment organization as one of the first consultants in the Netherlands with the aim to build a successful Dutch search and selection organization.

For more than 10 years he was actively involved in developing the organization in the Dutch market. He was then asked to join another executive search with several branches throughout Europe.

After six years a new challenge presented itself to start a new company from scratch in Executive Search with four other partners. Bert quickly built this firm up with good reputation in Holland and within 3 years employed 18 professionals.

Previous to his career in executive search he served as a reserve cavalry officer in the Dutch Army.

Bert is fluent in English and German.
