About

As Head of Talent Acquisition, I lead strategic recruiting initiatives and drive the continuous development of modern talent acquisition processes and employer branding activities. My focus lies on building scalable recruiting structures, enhancing candidate experience, and partnering closely with business leaders and stakeholders to attract top talent in a competitive market. Previously, I successfully led the setup of a new Recruiting and Employer Branding unit during the BASF Colors & Effects acquisition by DIC Sun Chemical, implementing global strategies and ensuring a seamless transition across international teams and processes. My expertise includes end-to-end recruiting, stakeholder management, works council negotiations, employer branding, and HR transformation projects. I also bring strong technical proficiency in SAP SuccessFactors (RCM, Onboarding, Employee Central), SAP HR, and SAP E-Recruiting. In addition to my technical and strategic expertise, I am recognized for my leadership, collaborative mindset, and strong interpersonal skills. I hold a Master of Laws (LL.M.) degree and a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Business Administration.
