I am a senior HR professional/manager, specialized in employee well being, motivation and employee engagement. I have worked in high performance organizations across several industries in the Netherlands, France, Switzerland and Greece. On a strategic and tactical level I have initiated and led programs on cultural change, leadership and the creation of a healthy working place, all of them based on data-driven knowledge, HR models and a thorough understanding of change mechanisms.

‘The basis of HR is a thorough understanding of what is going on in the organization, from top to bottom. Especially as a strategist you should talk to the people on the work floor, so to see what the effect of your work is and get necessary feedback to improve. That way people’s development and performance of the organization can go hand in hand.’

I joined forces with Valia Kalaitzi and the Competence Center for Diversity and Inclusion of the St. Gallen University of Switzerland on the development of a D&I barriers index and tailor-made interventions toolbox.
