Division Director

  • Location San Francisco
  • Team Pharma & Biotech
  • Department Direct Hire & Retained

Originally from Austria, I moved to the US in 2016 to get a Master’s in International Business. I started my recruiting career in October 2018 when I joined Meet, after having spent some time in sales. I have since done placements across a variety of different markets including Technical Operations, Quality, R&D, Biometrics, Medical Affairs, Clinical, and Commercial. While I don’t work too much on the candidate side anymore, I very much enjoy working closely with our Key Accounts to help them get the right hires and establishing new client relationships. Since April of 2021 I head up our Pharmaceutical Division for the SF Bay Area. Besides work, I love to travel and play ultimate frisbee.

I head up our pharmaceutical division for FTE hires in the SF Bay Area, out of our San Francisco office. My division focuses on small- to midsize pharma and biotech clients and finding them top talent who are excited about being in a mostly start-up environment. I currently lead a team of ~20 recruiters who are trained to be experts within their verticals, to best support our clients’ hiring needs. I am also responsible for our Business Development strategy and how our team can continue to bring in exciting new clients, who might work on the next blockbuster medicine. If the last 2 years have taught us anything, it’s that without the Life Sciences industry’s continuous research, the world would be a much different place. I love that I’m partnering with clients in an industry that can really make a difference. I am excited that I get to work with candidates and clients who are passionate about bringing new medicines to patients in need. The people I work with on a daily basis love to share their wealth of knowledge, which allows me to learn new things on a daily basis.

From a client perspective, my team is set up to specifically work with small- to mid-size biotech and pharma clients. We want to act as an extension to your business and be able to represent your brand on the market and provide you with the latest insights of the candidate world. We focus on providing you with quality candidates who match the criteria you are looking for, to allow for a quick fill of the role. If you’re looking for true partner who cares about your hiring strategy and wants to be more than just a CV machine, reach out to me.  

If you are a candidate who is looking for the right next career move and is interested in joining a more small- to midsize organization, and you’re keen on learning what’s out on the market, reach out to my team.
