Description

Advisor, Professor & Speaker | Driving Workforce Impact & Organizational Resilience with Evidence-Based Strategies

I partner with decision-makers struggling with outdated workforce strategies, delivering actionable, evidence-based blueprints to future-proof organizations. With 15+ years of expertise in HR strategy, workforce transformation, and governance, I help leaders navigate organizational agility, Target Operating Models, and leadership transitions.

A Harvard Business Review author, AI patent inventor, and former Fortune 500 HR VP, I combine cutting-edge research with hands-on execution. My work has led to €8-10 million in annual savings, pioneering HR analytics, AI-driven workforce solutions, and board effectiveness research.

With a Ph.D. from IE Business School, an MSc from Oxford, and consulting experience at McKinsey & Roland Berger, I provide decision-makers with data-driven, practical strategies to drive workforce impact and position themselves as go-to leaders in their industry.
