Experience

Before moving to "the other side of the table" in 2015, I was trained as a strategy consultant and then a headhunter, as well as a manager of professionals. My portfolio was always diversely spread across different sectors and functions, and my clients appreciated my commitment and objectivity. I was always searching for where I really felt at home, though.

20 years of recruitment and executive search

• Most recently as an associate partner at Holtrop Ravesloot, where I focused on filling executive positions in a wide range of industries from 2010 to 2014.
• From 2003 to 2009 I was (co)founder and partner at SHIKAR Group, where we developed and rolled out a new concept in executive search in a Northwest European context.
• Before that, I worked successively at Boyden (consultant), Korn Ferry (partner) and Futurestep (managing director Nordic/Benelux).

10 years of strategy consulting

In the first 10 years of my working life I was active as a management consultant. Over 3 years at what is now Accenture and almost 7 years at Horringa & de Koning, which became the Dutch office of The Boston Consulting Group halfway through my time there.
