About Mr. Bernard
A Belgian citizen and father of two, Martin has extensive consulting and international experience across Europe and Latin America. Since 2009, he has specialized in retained executive search with a focus on industry, sustainability, and general management roles.
After 4 years as a controller in leading international companies in Europe and Latin America, he moved into management consulting in 1992, first in Europe and in 1997 in São Paulo, Brazil, where he lived until early 2000 and successfully established and developed the local office of a leading European management consulting firm, which he led until 2005.
As a retained executive search professional, Martin was a partner at Amrop until 2012, when he founded People 4 A Better World, a boutique consultancy focused on corporate sustainability through the lens of people and culture. From 2015 to 2019, Martin was dedicated to a family business in the contemporary art sector, before moving to Brussels and joining SIGNIUM in early 2020. Throughout his executive search career, Martin has worked with a wide range of clients, with a focus on basic and manufacturing industries, among others. He has a strong passion for cultural change, sustainable development, responsible leadership, corporate governance and entrepreneurship.
