Digital leadership headhunting is a market phrase.
For buyers it means retained search for the bearer of digital leadership, often AI leadership.
Not an academy. Not a job ad. Not the money H1.
I run retained AI Executive Search mandates from Hamburg for DACH seats. This spoke defines. It does not steal the category page.
The market types 'digital leadership' when competence models and academies are in the room.
'Headhunting' hangs leadership search on that word.
The product remains a mandate: who owns the yes, digital and often AI.
Digital-leadership literature. Forum. Thesis.
That is adjacent search language. It is not an executive-search mandate.
Anyone who needs the seat buys the AI Executive Search mandate.
Buyers: board, CEO, CHRO, advisory, PE: not candidates, not academy seekers.
### Is digital leadership the money H1?
No. Definition spoke. The category stays AI Executive Search.
### Is this a leadership essay?
No. Phrase → seat → mandate.
