Our Sales & Recruitment Manager for the Rotterdam, The Hague and Eindhoven offices was raised in France and came back to Europe a few years ago after over 15 years spent in the UK and North America. She has over 15 years’ experience in Business Development and is always excited about growing Undutchables clients’ base and building lasting relationships through her international network.
She was an Undutchables candidate before becoming part of the Undutchables Family which gives her the best insight to accompany the talent acquisition of Undutchables’ international clients! She enjoys welcoming family and friends to her adoptive country, particularly at one of her favorite spots along the Scheveningen beach. She keeps being amazed by the beauty of our world in Europe and beyond.
