Senior Recruiter specialised in recruitment for Saas & Tech scale-up

I’m a freelance recruiter with a strong track record in executive search and talent acquisition across Europe, especially in tech, sales, and operations.

I partner with high-growth companies to secure top talent, fast. My approach is hands-on, business-driven, and tailored to each client’s culture and goals.

What sets me apart? A sharp eye for both potential and red flags, and the ability to challenge assumptions to ensure a true long-term match.

Flexible, discreet, and results-oriented; clients trust me to deliver with rigour and humanity.
