About

With over 8 years of work experience in the recruitment industry, with a past life in Sales & Marketing during 5 years, I am a passionate and driven Consultant at Hanson Search, a leading global executive search and selection consultancy. My core competencies include business development, client relationship management, market research, and candidate assessment. My mission is to help organisations find the best talent for their sales and marketing roles across various sectors and regions. I enjoy working with a diverse and dynamic team that shares the same vision and values of delivering excellence, integrity, and innovation to our clients and candidates. In my current role, I focus on recruiting mid-level to top management profiles with an expertise in business and reputation, both in communication, sales & marketing. I have successfully placed candidates in various countries, such as the USA, Finland, France, Germany, Belgium, and Denmark. Some of the recent roles that I have filled include Country Manager, Head of Sales, Area Sales Manager, Senior PR Manager, Managing Director, Head of Communication, and ESG Senior Consultant. To achieve these results, I leverage my skills in marketing communications, B2C and B2B marketing, and multilingual communication. I also collaborate with Time for the Planet, a non-profit organisation that aims to create and finance 100 companies that fight against climate change, as a financial contributor.
