Summary

As an HR professional with many years of professional & management experience in agencies, startups & consulting, my focus, in addition to recruiting, is especially on developing and expanding scalable HR processes & company culture initiatives.

I always focus on employees without losing sight of the employer side.

As a certified business coach with a passion for new ways of working, I always look for the best solution for both sides.
