Jaco Erasmus is the Chief Executive Officer for N2Growth EMEAA. Headquartered in the Benelux, he is responsible for overseeing all of N2Growth’s locations across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. Jaco began his career as a clinical psychologist in private practice before gravitating into management consulting where he spent time with Capgemini Ernst & Young. Prior to joining N2Growth, Jaco spent almost seven years as Managing Partner of an executive search firm. He holds an MBA in Strategic Management and Innovation from the University of Tilburg and a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology. Jaco was born and raised in South Africa, a country known for its wide range of diversity, large scale culture changes, successful transformations and the ability to build a new generation of courageous leaders. Its multicultural context has greatly formed his vision and ability to work with and bring about the best in (future) leaders of various cultural, educational and professional backgrounds.

The combination of Psychology and Management Consulting ultimately culminated in a career in Retained Search and Executive Interim Management. After a number of years in Executive Search, he founded a boutique Executive Search and Interim Management company, driven by clients' need for more transparency and efficiency of the search process as well as client involvement during the search process.
