✨ Helping people and companies find their perfect match in the FMCG & Retail world ✨ As Managing Partner at Antal International Networks, I specialize in executive search & headhunting across the FMCG industry, the Retail and Pharma sector. Having spent many years working in FMCG myself, I understand the challenges and opportunities in this fast-moving industry. That experience helps me not only to recognize top talent but also to connect the right leaders with the right businesses — quickly, effectively, and with a true understanding of both sides. 🔹 At Antal International (135 offices in 33 countries), we work through a unique matrix system that allows us to collaborate across sectors and borders — giving clients access to the best candidates worldwide. 🔹 With Hauptsache Coaching (hauptsache-karrierecoach.de ), I also support individuals and companies in today’s changing job market. Lifetime careers at one company are no longer the norm, and I help people and organizations navigate this shift through: - Career coaching & personal guidance - Preparing candidates for new professional challenges - Recruitment support & headhunting - Outplacement programs 💬 What drives me is simple: helping people grow, supporting companies in building strong teams, and creating meaningful connections that last.
I’ve spent my career at the intersection of people, business, and opportunity. Starting in the FMCG industry, I quickly realized that success isn’t just about products or processes — it’s about the people driving them. That insight shaped my path into executive search and recruitment, where I help connect talented leaders with companies where they can truly thrive. As Managing Partner at Antal International Networks, I focus on the FMCG Food & Beverages industry as well as Retail and Pharma sector. My experience in these fast-moving sectors gives me a deep understanding of what companies need and what candidates are looking for — and how to bring the two together in the most meaningful way. Beyond recruitment, I founded Hauptsache Coaching (hauptsache-karrierecoach.de) to support individuals and organizations navigating today’s changing labor market. Lifelong careers at a single company are becoming rare, and I’m passionate about helping people grow, pivot, and embrace new challenges — and helping companies retain, guide, and attract the right talent along the way. Some of the ways I work with people and organizations: - Career Coaching – clarifying goals and building confidence - Preparing Candidates for New Opportunities – guiding professionals through transitions - Executive Search & Recruitment – identifying top talent worldwide - Outplacement – supporting employees and companies through change At the heart of my work is a simple belief: success comes from aligning people with purpose. Every connection I make, every placement I facilitate, is about helping someone — or some company — unlock their potential.
In meiner Arbeit geht es immer um Menschen und ihre Möglichkeiten. Ich begleite Einzelpersonen, Teams und Gruppen dabei, ihre Stärken zu erkennen, Potenziale zu entfalten und Herausforderungen im wirtschaftlichen Umfeld zu meistern. Im Karrierecoaching geht es mir darum, Kandidaten dabei zu helfen, ihre aktuelle berufliche Situation bewusst zu reflektieren, Chancen und Optionen abzuwägen und den nächsten Karriereschritt mit Klarheit und Selbstvertrauen zu planen. Im Bewerbungstraining arbeite ich daran, Bewerbungen passgenau und überzeugend zu gestalten und Auftreten, Kommunikation und Verhalten im Auswahlprozess zu trainieren – damit Kandidaten ihre Stärken sicher präsentieren können. Mein Ansatz verbindet Praxiswissen aus der Wirtschaft, Erfahrung im Recruiting und individuelle Förderung. So entsteht Raum für Selbstreflexion, Wachstum und konkrete Handlungsschritte – sowohl für einzelne Personen als auch für Teams und Gruppen. Was mich antreibt? Zu sehen, wie Menschen ihre Potenziale entdecken, mutige Schritte wagen und erfolgreich ihre Ziele erreichen. Jeder Coaching-Prozess ist für mich eine gemeinsame Reise, auf der wir Lösungen entwickeln, Perspektiven erweitern und echte Veränderungen möglich machen.
