My Mission & Passion
Technology is transforming recruiting—but the decisive factor remains human. I believe in recruiting that combines data and intuition, artificial intelligence (AI) and human intelligence (HI), quality and efficiency.
With over 25 years of executive search experience, 20,000 interviews, and countless transformation projects, I know where algorithms make a difference—and where genuine human intuition is needed.
My mission: to support companies and executives so that, with AI and a clear compass, they can attract the best talent, develop teams, and redefine themselves as leaders. Whether it’s a PE- or VC-backed startup, a scale-up, a company undergoing transformation, or an experienced C-suite executive—my goal is to turn ambitions into concrete results and successes and to set companies and careers in motion.
What drives me? Clarity. Curiosity. The ambition to bring out the best in every talent—without standard solutions, always with foresight.
And in my personal life? Movement is my energy booster—as a certified Pilates instructor, I spend time almost every day on the Reformer, power walking on the beach, or hiking in the mountains. I am convinced: True innovation begins with the willingness to continually challenge oneself anew.
