Throughout my international HR career, I have held senior HR leadership and business partnering roles, supporting organisations across the full employee lifecycle — from talent acquisition and development to organisational transformation, mergers and restructuring. My experience includes interim HR leadership, where I combine strategic insight with a pragmatic, hands-on approach.
Having worked across different countries, cultures and business environments, I understand how organisations operate both locally and globally. Clients and colleagues value my empathy, pragmatism and solution-focused mindset. I build trust quickly, encourage meaningful conversations and support change that is both human and effective.
About me:
I was born in Adliswil (Zurich), grew up in California, and have lived in Zurich with my husband since 1996. I have dual citizenship (CH/US), speak fluent English and German, and understand Swiss German.
I love walks with our dog, and spending time in nature gives me peace, clarity, and inspiration.
I work with:
Companies and organisations seeking experienced interim HR leadership, strategic HR consulting and practical support during organisational change.
Professionals and executives navigating career transitions, professional development or new opportunities in the Swiss job market.
International professionals and accompanying partners seeking personalised career guidance and support in positioning themselves for the Swiss employment market.
