Scaling with the business.
Neach supported Redis through a period of rapid growth, recruiting across Sales, Sales Engineering, Marketing, Product and People. Searches included the SVP of Sales Engineering, who went on to build the SE organization to more than 60 people, as well as a Field CTO, HR leadership and critical individual contributors.
Some of the most senior mandates were conducted confidentially.

musical.ly
Building from 3.
When Neach began working with musical.ly, its team outside China was just three people in a small San Francisco office. As the company rapidly expanded, Neach helped build critical parts of the organization, including VP Music Partnerships, Director of Marketing, and hires across content and partnerships.
musical.ly would later become part of TikTok.
Building against the clock.
When ElringKlinger expanded its Fremont operation to support Tesla Model 3 production, Neach recruited critical local leadership, including the Plant Director and HR Director.
The mandate: establish the leadership needed to scale a new US operation against an aggressive production timeline.
Building the US commercial organization.
Neach has supported Asterra across multiple critical US commercial hires.

International Search
Building across markets?
We've done this before.
The first hires in a new market carry unusual weight. They aren't simply joining a team — they're helping establish the business, build local credibility and translate a company's strengths into a new market.
Neach has spent more than a decade helping international companies build and scale in the United States, while also supporting US companies expanding into DACH and the UK, and companies building critical teams within Europe.
From first commercial leaders and local executives to functional leadership and larger team build-outs, we've worked on both sides of the Atlantic.

A focused search, from brief to close.
A senior-led process built around the business outcome, a deliberate market map, and clear decisions on both sides.
02
Map the market
Translate the mandate into a focused search strategy across the companies, markets, and adjacent talent pools most likely to produce the right leader.
03
Engage and assess
Approach candidates directly, test experience, motivation, and fit, and keep the shortlist deliberate.
04
Guide the close
Stay close through interviews, feedback, and offer so both sides can make a clear decision.
Trust
Trusted when the search can't be public.
Many of Neach's senior leadership searches are conducted confidentially, often before a role, replacement or expansion is known to the market.
Those searches demand discretion, targeted outreach and the trust to represent both the company and the opportunity properly.
Some of our most consequential work will never appear on a client list.
About Neach
Search should feel personal.
Because it is.
Neach was founded in 2014 by Udo Nietsch after more than a decade building teams and recruitment organizations across international markets.
Today, Neach remains intentionally small and senior-led. Clients work directly with the people conducting the search, from understanding the mandate and market through outreach, assessment and closing.
That model has taken Neach from early-stage companies building their first US teams to global organizations making critical leadership hires, and often from one search to the next.
More about NeachClient Relationships
Relationships that outlast the search.
Neach first met Regev Yativ as a candidate, before his time at Redis. We stayed in touch. He later became a client at Redis, continued working with Neach at Agora, and again at Incredibuild.
Three companies. Multiple searches. One relationship built over years.
Redis→Agora→Incredibuild
As Redis grew, we needed a search partner who could keep pace with an increasingly urgent hiring need. Neach brought the character, integrity and experience we were looking for.
