Description

15+ years of broad, technical and international, recruitment experience. Analytical, pragmatic, hands-on, client focused, flexible, ethical and entrepreneurial. I value optimal candidate experience and effective partnership with stakeholders on all levels.

I thrive in dynamic, complex and/or international environments that require "hit the ground running" mentality. In-depth knowledge of start-/scale-up dynamics. I can turn your story into an authentic pitch. I prefer a role as business partner whilst still doing the grind work.
