About NextUp

NextUp is an executive search and leadership advisory firm founded in Istanbul, helping companies make better senior talent and leadership decisions — the decisions that shape growth, transformation and what comes next. We work closely with founders, CEOs, business owners, investors and senior HR leaders on critical leadership hires across Türkiye and Germany. Our roots are in Türkiye, where we support companies navigating growth, transformation and succession-critical leadership decisions, particularly in sectors where the right leadership hire can redefine the future of the business — including retail, e-commerce, consumer, renewable energy and industrial sectors. From our presence in Düsseldorf, we also support Turkish companies expanding into Germany and Germany-based companies operating in Türkiye, serving as a trusted partner across both markets. Our work spans CFO, COO, General Manager, Country Manager and other C-level and leadership appointments. Beyond executive search, we provide talent intelligence, market mapping and leadership advisory support to help clients make informed talent decisions. We believe great leadership decisions start long before a search begins. That is why we focus not only on the role itself, but on the business challenge, growth ambition or transformation behind it. If you're making a senior leadership decision in Türkiye, Germany, or across both markets, we'd be delighted to help.
