Built for technology businesses
I understand the pace, ambiguity and commercial expectations that come with scaling a modern data function — and when the right search needs to reach beyond the local market.

The people you need
are rarely applying.
I help ambitious European technology companies hire senior data specialists and leaders — locally or internationally — through a trusted network built over years of recruiting and community-building.

Why companies work with me
Specialist knowledge.
Real relationships.
The strongest data candidates are often not looking at job boards — or living in the same market as the company that needs them. I can extend a search across Europe and beyond to people who are genuinely open to relocating.
A network, not a database
Years of recruiting, roundtables and live events create trusted relationships with senior people across the European data community.
Focused, personal delivery
You work directly with me to define the real need and meet a carefully selected group of credible people.

For senior data people
Know who is reaching out.
I approach experienced people directly because the right opportunity rarely begins with an application. Expect a discreet, informed conversation about the company, mandate and why the role may be worth your time.
How I work with candidatesAn initial conversation
Could I be the
right partner?
Tell me what you're looking to build — whether the search is local or needs to reach relocation-ready talent internationally. I'll have a straightforward conversation with you about whether my network and approach are the right fit.
