I have over 20 years of experience in the Financial Service Industry, Fintech, and multinational companies. Coming from the business, I transitioned into a trusted Talent advisor role. In close collaboration with the Board, C-suite executives, and HR directors working in Germany, Belgium, Spain, and The Netherlands, I guided digital transformations through strategic leader selection and development.

Why is powering positive impact important for you?
In my life I have and will continue to focus on creating win-wins for the greater good, always keeping the bigger picture in mind. I believe in the power of paying it forward, benefiting not just individuals but the collective, and more so the long term than the short term. It’s this ripple effect, where positive actions grow into sustainable impact.

How I can help YOU
As a Partner, I can help you deliver sustainable matches that truly align with the long-term goals of your company, team, and candidates. I actively focus on securing leadership continuity not only during the placement process but also before and after. My expertise lies in executive and critical roles across the Fintech, Sustainable Finance, and broader Financial Services (FSI) sectors in the Netherlands and Germany.
As an Executive Career Coach, I take a candidate-driven, proactive approach, helping executives find sustainable new positions through strategic steps, including five targeted network introductions. Whether they are transitioning to a new role, company, or sector, feeling stuck, or experiencing ambition pain, I provide the guidance and support they need. As a trusted advisor, I have coached hundreds of senior executives through these pivotal career moments.
With a background as a former banking executive specializing in succession and talent management in both countries, I bring deep industry knowledge and real-world insights into the challenges of finding, developing, and securing future leaders. This is especially critical in today’s rapidly evolving landscape, marked by technological advancements, regulatory shifts, and the increasing importance of sustainability.

My collaboration style is open, co-creative, result driven with a true interest to understand the business context, client needs, and candidate aspirations. I like to build new and further develop existing trusted relationships bringing a mix of expertise, joie de vivre and out of the box thinking to reach our mutual goal.
