Expertise & Biography
I am a psychological anthropologist at heart and an executive headhunter by profession, co-leading Kienbaum Netherlands' Defence, Digital Security, and Dual-Use Technology practice. With over three and a half years in executive search and recruitment, I take a research- and relationship-driven approach to talent acquisition. I've placed candidates across 13 European countries in industries such as defense, agri-food, heavy industry, mining, manufacturing, logistics, financial services, and professional services. An award-winning qualitative researcher, I hold an MSc in Cultural Anthropology from Utrecht University and a BA in Politics, Philosophy, Economics, and Social Science from Trinity College Dublin.
Why I’m Thrilled to be at Kienbaum
For me, Kienbaum feels like home. It is an organization built on longevity and resilience, where relationships matter more than transactions, innovation takes precedence over stagnation, and people are valued beyond placements. It fosters an environment that encourages, supports, and inspires me to strive for excellence every day. We all share one goal, and that is turning people and organizations into progress.
