With the launch of ibc MOZA, MOZA and ibc group are combining their expertise in executive search, leadership, and organizational development. The new organization is built around one central question: what kind of leader does an organization need to successfully realize its next phase of growth and transformation?
Maastricht/Utrecht/Aachen/Hamburg, 09.10.2026 – Organizations are continuously facing new challenges, changes, and expectations. Successfully navigating these developments requires not only a clear strategy, but above all leaders who can translate ambition into results.
At the same time, experience shows that the success of an executive appointment is not determined solely by finding the right candidate. A leader can only be successful when the organization, the executive team, and the broader environment are ready to support that success.
It is from this conviction that MOZA and ibc group are joining forces as ibc MOZA.
The new organization combines MOZA’s expertise in executive search, recruitment, and talent scouting with ibc group’s capabilities in organizational development, leadership, interim management, project and process management, and transformation consulting.
For clients, this means one partner that not only helps identify the right leader, but also helps create the conditions in which that leader can succeed and create lasting value.
According to Rob Vermeulen, Director of ibc group and Director of ibc MOZA, this creates a fundamentally different approach to executive search.
“Organizations need more than a candidate who matches a job description. They need leaders who can help realize strategic ambitions. That is why we do not start with a CV, but with understanding the organization. By connecting strategy, culture, and leadership, we help organizations find leaders who not only fit the role but also contribute to sustainable growth and transformation.”
In addition to this approach, ibc MOZA differentiates itself through a transparent and results-oriented model. Clients work with a fixed monthly fee during the search process and a predefined success fee based on salary brackets. This ensures full transparency regarding costs from the very beginning.
Furthermore, ibc MOZA operates with a ten-week search process and provides a one-year guarantee on every successful placement. Should a placed executive leave within that period, a new search will be conducted without an additional success fee.
This philosophy closely aligns with the broader mission of ibc group: connecting performance.
Across the group, expertise in Data, Technology, Process, and People is brought together to help organizations improve performance and successfully navigate change.
Building on that foundation, ibc MOZA introduces its Executive Performance Search methodology.
Where traditional executive search often starts with a job profile, ibc MOZA starts with the organization’s challenge.
Organizations do not hire a CFO, COO, CIO, or Managing Director simply because a vacancy exists. They hire leaders because they are preparing for growth, digitalization, international expansion, cultural transformation, or another strategic transition.
The process therefore begins with an assessment of the organization, its strategy, its leadership team, and the underlying performance challenge.
The outcome is not a traditional job description, but a clear understanding of the leadership capabilities required to enable the organization’s next stage of performance.
Only then does the search begin for a leader who not only possesses the right experience but also strengthens the existing leadership team, aligns with the organizational culture, and is capable of successfully delivering the intended transformation.
According to Rob Hounjet, Director of ibc MOZA, this is where the new organization truly sets itself apart.
“For clients, only one thing ultimately matters: that an appointment contributes to the performance of the organization. Many executive search firms stop at the signature. We believe that is exactly where the real work begins. By combining MOZA’s search expertise with the organizational strength of ibc group, we support organizations from challenge to sustainable results.”
For that reason, ibc MOZA’s involvement does not end once a candidate has been appointed.
Through onboarding support, executive team coaching, stakeholder alignment, team effectiveness assessments, and periodic performance reviews, the organization supports both leaders and organizations in creating lasting impact.
The objective is not a successful placement.
The objective is a successful contribution to the client’s strategic agenda.
With the launch of ibc MOZA, both organizations respond to a growing demand for integrated leadership solutions.
Organizations are no longer simply looking for a leader who fits today.
They are looking for a leader who enables tomorrow’s performance.
That is why ibc MOZA goes beyond traditional Executive Search and introduces Executive Performance Search.
From understanding the challenge.
To selecting the right leader.
To creating sustainable performance.
