About

Based in Heidrick & Struggles’ Munich office, I serve as Managing Partner for Germany and Cluster Head DACH. I also lead the CEO & Board of Directors Practice across Germany and the DACH region and am a member of the European Industrial Practice. As a seasoned executive search consultant and former senior HR leader in a global corporation, I bring extensive expertise in senior-level search assignments and executive assessment. Throughout my career, I have been recognized for my deep corporate experience and strong advisory skills in guiding senior leaders—across CEO and board, CFO, CHRO, and industrial sectors. I have significant expertise in succession planning for senior executives, management assessments, and supporting clients through complex transformation processes.
