Having interviewed thousands of candidates internationally throughout my career & having developed talent attraction strategies, coached businesses on how to attract quality talent to address their needs I have extensive experience coming from both potential employer’s and candidate’s perspective.

I have also been in your shoes as a candidate or entrepreneur & had to find shortcuts to land the opportunities I wanted every time I moved continents or countries to get international exposure or experience.

Growing and developing as a professional across the borders, I had to start my life and career from scratch & build my career in new countries, new continents, new cultures, often with limited or no network or support.

Every time I took a challenge as an opportunity to achieve an “impossible goal” & had a great sense of fulfillment every time I achieved.

I have learned that there are processes, tools, systems and rules of the game that you need to know to create the career you want. Being just talented does not guarantee a successful career or career you will be happy about.

I will be happy to work with you to help you create career you want!
