Your Partner

Working primarily within Switzerland and Europe, I help a limited number of professionals at a time to gain clarity, build strong and relevant materials and move through the market with confidence.

My clients include CEOs, CFOs, Heads of Business Units, VPs, Directors, Managers and Specialists. They are often Consultants, or aspiring to be.

Most understand hiring in theory. Very few ever see how they themselves are being assessed in real time.

It is not coaching in the traditional teaching sense – it’s sparring with you and creating for you, to take you to where you want to be – faster.

About John

I’ve spent more than 15 years inside the rooms where hiring decisions happen.

My background is shaped by time as a headhunter, growing businesses, advising leaders and operating inside real hiring markets.

On offer is practical, discrete support shaped by years inside hiring and working closely with senior leaders, executives and specialists.

I now use that perspective to help professionals move with purpose.

“You’re top of my list of recommendations to those seeking practical, common sense and impactful guidance on their job search. Always the one with a fresh, unique, leading edge perspective.”

– Alison Barber, Global Talent Leader
