At KORN FERRY, I led search and leadership advisory assignments across EMEA and North America. I built competitive intelligence and benchmarking that halved time-to-shortlist, with 100% one-year retention.
I founded Clearway, an executive search and organizational advisory practice, and helped clients address operating-model, reporting, and post-merger integration challenges. Earlier, at Lindcorp Corporation, I conducted workforce diagnostics and research that informed organizational changes to retention and rewards.
