Presentation

I am an HR and organizational development professional with broad, hands-on experience across recruiting, HR operations and strategic people management. Having worked in fast-growing start-ups in the software development sector, I understand the dynamics, pace and challenges of scaling teams and building strong people foundations from the ground up. With a background as Chief of Staff, I bring a holistic understanding of how teams, structures, and leadership dynamics shape a thriving organization. I support companies as an HR allrounder or HR Business Partner, helping them attract the right talent, optimize processes, and develop healthy, efficient workflows. I also offer coaching for leadership roles and employees, drawing on real-world experience to help individuals grow, communicate better and navigate challenges with clarity and confidence. Whether you need support in recruitment, people development, organizational structure or leadership coaching, I bring empathy, structure, and a solutions-oriented mindset to your team.
