Interim Talent Adviser

Specializing in attracting, assessing, and retaining top talent, I provide human- centered and objective assessments based on performance, needs, and interests. I develop talent acquisition and retention strategies, design efficient processes, and offer interim recruitment support. You may hire me for short- or longterm recruitment projects and as an advisor for your hiring and talent strategy.

With a diverse background in global e-commerce platforms, company builders, and headhunting firms, I have successfully led talent acquisition initiatives and achieved key hires in various disciplines in digital industries. My approach is straightforward and no-nonsense, providing clients with practicable solutions.

Industries I have worked for: SaaS, Manufacturing, Wholesale, Financial Services

Together with my clients, I am working on establishing and maintaining a human-centered company culture where employees feel appreciated, can thrive, and won't have to resort to “quiet quitting”. I work best with people that want to build for the longterm. I believe in hard work, but not in hustle culture. I believe in a common goal and in community, not egos. If this resonates, let's talk and if it doesn't, then we certainly need to talk!
