Executive Partner at Pawlik Executive Search, specializing in Life Sciences and Animal Ag-Tech. I support organizations in animal health, nutrition, diagnostics, and digital Ag-Tech in identifying and attracting leaders who drive innovation and sustainable growth.

Since 2016, I have worked in executive search and leadership consulting, joining Pawlik Executive in 2020. My focus is on connecting forward-thinking companies with the right leadership talent by aligning expertise, cultural fit, and strategic vision.
