After 25 years in senior sales and strategy roles within asset management, Oliver Morath<\/strong> will join Rehwald Associates<\/strong> as Senior Executive Partner in February 2026. It is a move that deliberately goes against the traditional career trajectory \u2013 and one that creates clear added value for both clients and candidates. <\/p>\n\n

Morath knows the industry from the decision-maker\u2019s perspective. He has built teams, shaped careers, and witnessed unsuccessful placements firsthand. This is precisely where his new role begins. Together with founder Manuel Rehwald<\/strong>, he aims to further evolve executive search in asset and wealth management: away from pure \u201cstock picking\u201d and towards a true understanding of roles, profiles, and long-term fit. <\/p>\n\n

Beyond CVs: Executive Search Grounded in Industry Reality<\/h3>\n\n

What has always set Rehwald Associates apart gains an additional dimension with Morath\u2019s arrival: hands-on industry expertise at eye level. He brings not only a robust network built over 25 years in asset management, but also a deep understanding of what companies truly need \u2013 and what candidates can realistically deliver.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n

His approach is holistic. Instead of focusing solely on technical qualifications, he places equal emphasis on cultural alignment, expectation management, and a clearly defined role from the outset. Especially in an industry where failed placements rarely stem from lack of competence, but rather from unspoken assumptions. <\/p>\n\n

Thinking Beyond the Obvious \u2013 and Reassessing Talent<\/h3>\n\n

One of the central challenges: an increasingly limited talent pool. Morath advocates for looking beyond traditional career paths. Many of the most successful sales careers he has personally overseen emerged outside conventional frameworks. This perspective now directly informs Rehwald Associates\u2019 mandates. <\/p>\n\n

The objective is clear: better decisions on both sides<\/strong> of the table \u2013 for companies and for candidates alike.<\/p>\n\n

Growth with Purpose<\/h3>\n\n

With Oliver Morath joining the firm, Rehwald Associates continues to strengthen its position as a specialised executive search boutique in the German-speaking market. The ambition is clearly defined: sustainable growth, strategic advisory excellence, and close, market-oriented guidance on key personnel decisions \u2013 across Germany, Switzerland, Luxembourg, and beyond. <\/p>\n\n

In a comprehensive interview with DAS INVESTMENT, Oliver Morath and Manuel Rehwald discuss\u2013 the war for talent beyond compensation\u2013 why many careers fail due to lack of self-reflection\u2013 and why an honest SWOT analysis should be the starting point of any career strategy<\/p>\n\n
