DISCOVER 227 DATA LEADERS: YOUR PARTNER IN EXECUTIVE SEARCH AND RECRUITMENT

Since 2001, the 227 companies have been dedicated to providing exceptional executive search, recruitment, and interim mediation services. Starting in 2003, we focused on the content industry, serving clients in publishing and media under the names 227 Search and later 227 Media. Our founder and Managing Director, Geert Meijer, has deep roots in the data-driven content industry, having previously held various director roles at the listed company Wolters Kluwer.

In 2015, we expanded our expertise with the creation of 227 Learning, an executive search and recruitment company specializing in the niche market of (E-)Learning. Our clients include educational publishers, e-learning companies, Edtech firms, training companies, training agencies, knowledge institutes, and educational institutions. That same year, we launched 227 Data, one of the pioneering firms focusing exclusively on data analytics professionals. We connect higher medior and senior data analytics experts in the Netherlands with prominent clients, ranging from large corporates and scale-ups to SMEs and government organizations.

As data analytics has become a cornerstone of modern business and governance, we have seen a surge in leadership roles within this domain. Organizations are increasingly considering positions such as Chief Data Officer, Manager Data, Director of Analytics, and Team Leads for newly formed data teams. Recognizing this trend, we introduced 227 Data Leaders, dedicated exclusively to placing top-tier candidates in executive data roles. Over the past few years, we have successfully completed dozens of assignments for leading data positions, solidifying our reputation as specialists in this field.
