WHO WE ARE

Tobias Arco-Valley

Finance & Tax Talent for Technology-Driven Industries – With Insight, Integrity and Impact.

I’m Tobias Graf Arco-Valley, founder of CLATTON HEADHUNTERS.
For over 15 years, I have been working in Executive Search – with a clear focus: the precise placement of Finance and Tax positions within        .

What sets me apart is the combination of deep subject matter expertise and a strong instinct for personalities – always in alignment with the individual culture of each organization.

I don’t follow a scattergun approach, but work in a targeted, honest, and persistent manner. For me, it’s not about volume – it’s about quality and genuine collaboration.

Whether it’s a specialist, executive, or C-level role – I find people who truly fit the company.

What defines me? I’m open, transparent, and value communication on equal terms. I don’t see myself as a traditional service provider, but as a long-term partner. My network is strong, my experience well-grounded – and my goal is clear: to create sustainable value for companies.

CLATTON stands for loyalty, reliability, discretion – and for executive search from a single source.

Leading companies – including those from the Mittelstand, private equity firms, family offices, start-ups, and large corporations – rely on my services.

We operate internationally in both German and English.

with whom we have worked successfully.

If you happen to have some time on your hands, check out George Orwell’s “Why I Write” from 1946. Orwell describes in his essay “curriculum vitae” the most important reasons that have made him one of the most famous writers in history:

  1. Sheer Egoism
  2. Aesthetic Enthusiasm
  3. Historical Impulse
  4. Political Purpose

Freely translated for your career that means:

  1. Does it benefit me?
  2. How am I perceived?
  3. Do I have any doubts?
  4. What do I want to achieve?

We look forward to meeting you!
