About

I am a senior talent consulting professional with diverse experience in global organizations. I partner with organisations to improve the predictability of hiring and talent decisions through evidence-based assessment methodologies. As a Hogan-certified consultant, I help clients identify, select and develop leaders and professionals who are most likely to succeed in their roles and culture. At Novelia, we take a bespoke approach to talent assessment, combining structured interviews, role-play simulations, psychometric assessments and behavioural insights to provide a comprehensive view of candidate potential. Our goal is to help organisations make more confident talent decisions, reduce hiring risk and unlock individual and organisational performance. I am also passionate about the Future of work (flexible models, sustainability, digitalization, mental health). If we share professional values, interests or aspirations, I would be pleased to connect with you.
