Executive Search · Interim Recruitment · AI Implementation · TA Team Builder
I help B2B companies in tech, software and professional services attract and retain top-tier talent across EMEA — whether through executive search, interim hiring, or building internal TA teams.
Over the past two decades, I’ve led large-scale GTM and tech hiring programs, implemented AI tools to streamline recruitment workflows, and supported leadership teams during critical growth and transformation phases.
As founder of TopSearch, I built the firm from the ground up to 120 FTE and successfully completed a multi-phase exit. Today, I focus on helping ambitious organisations scale smarter — combining the rigour of retained search with the agility of interim recruitment.
Recent focus areas:
Interim recruitment for finance professionals (Accountants and Tax Specialists)
Executive hiring for renewable energy ventures (C-level & senior management)
I’m known for my hands-on approach, strategic insight, and ability to deliver under pressure — qualities consistently reflected in client and candidate recommendations.
