Throughout my international HR career, I’ve led across the full employee lifecycle—from recruitment and global mobility to complex transitions like mergers and restructurings. I understand how organizations work—locally and globally—and move with ease across cultures. Clients and colleagues value my empathy, pragmatism, and solution-focused mindset. I build trust quickly, enable 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.
