Executive search and advisory for European tech and growth-backed companies
Yaz Associates is a 27-year-old executive recruitment firm focused on placing senior leaders in European software and enterprise software companies. The tech stack—Salesforce (Sales Cloud, Revenue Cloud, Service Cloud), Snowflake, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, AWS—reflects a CRM-heavy recruiting operation built for pipeline management and deal tracking. Active hiring across sales (5 roles), engineering (2), and support (1) suggests the firm is scaling its own go-to-market function while building internal technical infrastructure.
Yaz Associates places executive talent in growth-backed and private-equity-backed technology companies across Europe, with particular depth in ERP, supply chain, and customer information systems. Founded in 1997 by Yaz Loukhal, who spent 15 years in enterprise software sales before recruiting, the firm operates from Zug, Switzerland with a small team (2–10 employees) and recruits across Bulgaria, the United Kingdom, Belgium, and the United States. Active projects center on API architecture, B2B platform development, and proof-of-concept delivery, suggesting the firm is building internal tooling and product capabilities alongside its core placement business.
