Hi, I’m Kate, a Senior Talent Partner with 6+ years advising leaders and teams across global, high-growth environments. I combine deep recruitment expertise with a consultative, people-first approach—coaching hiring managers, shaping talent strategy, and building programs that create lasting organizational capability. I’m expanding my scope toward People Development, HRBP, and Talent Management, focusing on how people grow, lead, and thrive beyond hiring. I read people and situations with precision, build trust quickly, and translate complex human dynamics into clear, actionable hiring and workforce decisions. I’m open to roles in Geneva or with relocation from March 2026.
