About Me

Compounding what scales. Eliminating what doesn’t add value.

Disrupt. Evolve. Thrive

I bring a blend of leadership and change management experience in highly innovative tech companies. This helps me support clients in navigating a future that is still unfolding.

Embracing change is also part of my personal journey. I’ve navigated life and work in 5 countries in Europe and Asia, in scaleup and established businesses. These experiences enabled me to stay curious and learn fast from a broad spectrum of growth stages, maturity levels and cultures.

Throughout my career I’ve designed and implemented multiple organisational transformation efforts with lasting impact:

• Multiple global people process redesign efforts to deliver competitive advantage

• De/re-centralisation of functions, post M&A scenarios and culture change

• Reduction in force, organisational restructure

• Implemented outsourcing, offshoring and near shoring

• HR systems and technology change and adoption

AI powered cultures enable a new kind of growth, and a different organisational blueprint altogether.

During my two decades as operator in tech, I scaled up environments where technology is core to amplify performance. Working smarter means utilising the right HR tools to elevate your business:

• I’ve used and transacted 100+ tools and integrated multiple SaaS solutions including AI tech in people departments

• Demo-ed >30 AI tools in the last year, able to recommend the right solution by stage, setup and budget

• Staying on top of trends to cut through the noise: by using AI daily to enhance my work

I’ve empowered several organisations to become more tech savvy, to adopt new tools and new ways of interacting with technology.

Talent success is where hiring excellence meets commercial impact.

I’ve built and led talent functions from the initial hires to hyper scale in tech. To compete in this talent market, I implemented research backed assessment methods with predictive power to prevent costly mis-hires:

• Individually placed 500+ people in over 20 countries globally: every hire was evaluated using structured, behavioural methods

• Enabled quality decision making supported by scientific evaluation techniques that predict performance: competency based interviews paired with context specific methods

• Developed systems where every role is tied to commercial impact and every new hire raises the bar

The most impactful people teams deeply understand the commercial context they operate in. They share the following characteristics which are part of my DNA:

• Commerciality: business centricity, clear link between hiring, performance and financial outcomes

• Quality: precision meets speed, plus quality of hire as a first principle in recruitment

• Efficiency: operational rigour, supported by clean workflows and measurable goals; all refined by constant improvement cycles

I build high-performing talent functions that don’t just fill roles, but power business growth.
