For over 25 years I have been a problem solver and trusted advisor for companies facing tough talent challenges. I started out in strategy consulting as I was fascinated by shaping the big topics for the future and by approaching challenges in a strategic and analytical way. When I grew older, I added my interpersonal strengths and passion about working with people, which led quite naturally towards People Consulting and Executive Search. As a Board Advisor in the People, Talent and Organization space, I work with Boards and Management Teams and advise companies on the entire range of their leadership needs. With a background in strategy consulting and people consulting at leading companies like Korn Ferry, Kienbaum, strategy&, Kearney and IBM Consulting Group, I bring a broad perspective to every assignment, combining business acumen with talent insights.My People Credo? I am deeply convinced that we create an edge through people. If our people are performing well, the business is performing well. The People Function for me is about aligning the capabilities and behaviours of our people with the strategy and goals of the company to create value, and about building a good environment for our people to reach their full potential. My focus is on supporting organizations in Board & CEO Advisory, and along the entire People Function – from shaping the People Strategy and Strategic Workforce Planning, through Talent Acquisition, People Development, Performance Management, People Experience & Engagement to People Organization & Processes, with a particular depth in Board & CEO Services, C-Level Executive Search, Leadership Succession/Pipelining, and Senior Leader Assessments. Over the years I have helped place more than 450 senior leaders and assessed more than 7.000 candidates. With a deep expertise in Industrial Manufacturing, Consumer & Retail, Technology and Board & CEO Services, I am able to leverage my track record and extensive network in these fields. I am known for creating excellence, for digging into challenges, for viewing business through a people lens and for not being afraid of stating uncomfortable truths. My passion is to help people and organizations realize their full potential. I have a genuine interest in people and the human aspect, and I enjoy working with others and developing people. I love my job and I am passionate about what I do - as a Board Advisor, or in-house in a strategic People Officer role, creating even more of a sustainable impact - and am happy to discuss whatever you are working on!
