Summary

I am an executive leader and trusted advisor with almost 20 years of experience in the recruitment services industry, building, scaling, and transforming organizations. Having led large, multi-layered teams and managed complex P&Ls, I bring firsthand understanding of the strategic, commercial, and human challenges senior leaders face when driving change, shaping strategy, and delivering sustainable performance.

My leadership career has been shaped by two decades in recruitment, talent strategy, and organizational transformation, progressing into senior executive roles and, most recently, into independent advisory and coaching work. I am known for creating clarity in complexity, building scalable operating models, and strengthening leadership effectiveness in fast-moving, performance-driven environments. My work consistently combines commercial rigor with a strong people focus.

As a certified coach, I add a distinct dimension to my advisory work, supporting executives not only on strategy and execution, but also on mindset, resilience, and leadership presence. Through highly personalized advisory and coaching mandates, I act as a sparring partner to founders, CEOs, and leadership teams navigating growth, transition, or strategic repositioning.
