Über mich
I am a Berlin-based headhunter specialising in product, design and digital transformation. A trusted talent partner who can future-proof your career or your business. My mission is to design genuine personal relationships in an ever-changing technology and transaction-driven recruitment landscape. Putting the "human" back in "human capital". With many years of experience as a design executive in the digital industry, I understand my partners' hiring needs and provide them with access to the right talent that will transform their business. Committed to using innovative and data-driven methods to improve recruitment, I currently lead the executive search practice at Kooku Recruiting Partners. Prior to joining Kooku, I ran Cogs Berlin.
