A word from the founder

More than recruitment.
The full function.


I started in executive search. Then I built the systems behind it.

Fourteen years across global manufacturing, technology scale-ups, and post-merger integration. SAP SuccessFactors live across 29 sites in 12 countries with 92% adoption in six months. Time-to-hire reduced 30%, agency spend reduced 80%, seven acquisitions integrated, 250 to 450 annual hires delivered.

Trusted by Assa Abloy, voestalpine, DHL, Siemens, Covidien, Johnson & Johnson, Medtronic, and a handful of scale-ups across seven countries.

Now I do this work on a fractional basis. Hiring systems, technology adoption, change management, executive search. The full talent function, when leadership teams need it most.

Where we work best

Built for the moments that matter.

Early-stage and growth-stage tech companies without hiring infrastructure. ATS selection, interview frameworks, vendor contracts, EMEA & APAC compliance, built from the ground up.

Industrial & Manufacturing

Production ramp-ups, Greenfield startups, post-merger integration across global manufacturing facilities. Shop floor to senior management. Decentralised, cross-border, hands-on.

Cultural Transformation

Organisations navigating restructuring, M&A integration, or strategic pivots. Bringing structured change management to ambiguous, board-level talent decisions.

Trusted partnerships

A track record across leading companies.

Selected client engagements over fourteen years.
