Although I began my career in science—earning my veterinary degree from the University of Ghent in Belgium and working in clinical development at Novartis in Switzerland —I was always drawn to people: how leaders inspire, how teams collaborate, and how individuals learn, grow and thrive.

This curiosity about human dynamics, combined with a serendipitous opportunity created by leaders who believed in me, led me to transition from science to human capital. Over the past 15+ years, I’ve had the privilege of partnering with businesses to build leadership teams that drive performance and transformation. I have held local, global, and executive HR roles at Novartis, led the HR function at Sandoz during its spin-off preparation, and most recently served as CHRO at Medartis, a listed Swiss medtech company. Throughout these experiences, I have navigated major transformations, shaped leadership and HR teams, and seen firsthand the profound impact of effective leadership.

With an Executive Master’s from INSEAD in Coaching and Consulting for Change and a background as a trained coach, I bring a deep understanding of leadership and organizational culture. Built on the strong believe that people are at the heart of any thriving organization, my focus is on helping individuals, teams, and companies unfold their potential, enhance their leadership effectiveness, and create impact.

Now, as a Partner at Brooksmiller, I’m excited to put this expertise to work—connecting exceptional talent with the right opportunities, guiding career transitions, enhancing leadership teams, and helping organizations build the foundations for lasting impact.
