AI leadership for Hidden Champions is a mandate for the AI seat.
Owner-driven. Often export-heavy. Retained. Confidential.
Not a money-slug restage. Not a champion headcount.
I run retained AI Executive Search mandates from Hamburg for DACH seats.
Who owns the yes.
Advisory board and owners need the same name.

The AI Executive Search mandate.
### Do we count champions?
No. No invented market sizes.
### For whom?
Owners, management, advisory, not candidates.
