About Sarah

People management is effective when it keeps people in mind – and still drives business goals forward. This has been my ambition for more than 7 years.

After roles at QVARTZ (Bain & Company), Infront, and P&M, I advise small and medium-sized companies in growth phases on establishing a professional foundation for their HR work – or on remaining capable of action in dynamic change situations.

My focus areas:
• Building and professionalizing HR departments and processes
• Recruiting, Employer Branding, and People Development
• Job architectures and corporate culture programs
• Implementation of HR software, especially Personio
• Post-merger integration and HR-related M&A support

Depending on the need, I work on a project basis, as an interim manager, or as a sparring partner for executives. No off-the-shelf solutions, no fixed consulting team – instead, pragmatic implementation, close collaboration, and an honest external perspective.
