About

As the founder of Pepper & Souls Recruitment Solutions, I bring over 7 years of experience across BPO, in-house, RPO, agency, and freelance recruitment. I specialize in full-cycle recruitment for multilingual professionals across Europe, with a strong focus on Dutch-speaking roles. Having worked on all sides of the hiring process, I understand the pressures, expectations, and operational realities behind every vacancy. Strong stakeholder management is at the core of how I work — aligning business needs, managing expectations, and building trusted partnerships with hiring managers, clients, and candidates alike. I combine analytical thinking with a practical, hands-on mindset. I enjoy diving into data, identifying bottlenecks, improving processes, and thinking out of the box when traditional sourcing strategies don’t deliver. Whether it’s scaling a BPO team quickly or finding niche Dutch-speaking talent in competitive markets, I focus on smart, sustainable solutions rather than quick fixes. Through Pepper & Souls Recruitment Solutions, my goal is simple: make recruitment efficient, transparent, and human — while helping companies build international teams that truly perform.

    Born in the Netherlands and raised in the Dutch Antilles, I grew up between cultures — something that naturally shaped both my personal and professional path. After discovering Barcelona during an art school trip and developing a strong appreciation for culture, creativity, and environment, I spent over fifteen years working in the cultural sector, organising exhibitions, events, and publications internationally. Bringing people and ideas together has always been a constant in my career. Twelve years ago, I made Catalunya my home. Over the past eight years, I transitioned into recruitment and built experience across BPO, in-house, RPO, agency, and freelance environments. Today, I specialize in full-cycle recruitment for multilingual talent across Europe, with a strong focus on Dutch-speaking roles. I’m known for strong stakeholder management, analytical thinking, and out-of-the-box sourcing strategies. I enjoy aligning business needs with real human potential — not just filling vacancies, but building teams that truly fit across borders and cultures. Pepper & Souls was founded from that mindset: combining cultural awareness with strategic recruitment expertise to create sustainable, people-first hiring solutions.
