About

I am an international HR leader who specializes in guiding organizations through their most critical transition points. My career is built on a foundation of managing the human and structural complexities that arise during mergers, international realignments, and strategic pivots.  Currently, as (Global) Head of HR for a specialized FMCG company, I am responsible for the global HR strategy and operations across Germany, the US, and Brazil. My role is to ensure that our people strategy supports a high-speed manufacturing environment while steering the organization through complex structural changes and international consultation processes. International Leadership: Currently leading the HR function for a global "hidden champion," focusing on organizational health and the strategic integration of international sites. Corporate Scale & Strategic Partnership: Served as an HR Business Partner for a MedTech corporate across Germany and Denmark, managing HR for global R&D and leading international projects in Talent Management and Comp & Ben. Organizational Evolution: Acted as the HR lead within an international ExCo to establish a new business unit and contributed to a global restructuring team focused on cross-border consultation. The Foundation: Developed a comprehensive HR perspective in the fashion and sports retail sectors, where I managed full-spectrum HR through high-stakes periods, including a merger and an insolvency process.
