Testimonials

Global Head of Transformation

“Anna is the real deal”  I have known Anna for more than five years and worked with her closely for more than two years. She is, by a mile, the best executive search partner I have ever worked with. She is thorough yet pragmatic, she is energetic and still patient when needed, she genuinely cares about her candidates and her clients, and she is exceptionally good at grasping the nature and spirit of the role that is being hired for. She fosters and invests in long-term relationships and she does so with sincere curiosity and heart.  Most recently, in July 2020, I have engaged Anna to help find a new team member for the Transformation team in APM Terminals. The role was a complex one, with a relatively broad and fluid scope and two geographical location options, as well as very ambitious criteria for the candidate profile. Anna immediately understood what the role was really about, and within a couple of weeks had provided a robust shortlist of really strong candidates for the role. With her support and sparring, including dialogues with the Chief Human Resources Officer and Chief Operating Officer of APM Terminals, we managed to hire a truly outstanding candidate within two months of starting the process from scratch. In fact, Anna’s shortlist of candidates was so strong that we ended up also hiring a second candidate from the list as well, because the person was simply too good to let go.  I can only give Anna my strongest recommendations, and I am happy to provide further input to anyone interested in working with Anna, as a client and as a candidate.

“What I truly appreciated with our conversations was that you had full understanding of the client, the role and how my profile would fit, prospects for future development; how you challenged my thinking and logic when you felt it was not strong enough; that I felt you managed to act both on behalf of me and your client – and that you invest the time required and take a long-term perspective of candidates’ careers."

“Anna made me feel like I was fully prepared for every step in the process. I would fully recommend.  Anna puts quality above quantity: she makes sure there will be a true fit between the candidate, the future role and the future manager before initiating a process, and then checks in regularly to make sure the alignment is still there. Anna gives her candidates a good preparation ahead of each step of the process, and really has in depth knowledge of the team and the company she was preparing me for. She knows very well the expectations of the hiring company, but also the hopes and concerns of ex strategy consultants moving into another career.  Altogether, as a candidate I felt understood, and Anna displayed unmatched knowledge in her field, and ability to support and get the best out of the candidates."
