I'm British, and spent a decade in London before moving to Berlin. I didn't come for a job, I came because I'd fallen in love with the city, and I still get a small thrill every time my German improves by one verb tense.
I studied Anthropology at Durham, which sounds like an odd start for a career in executive recruiting, but understanding why people do what they do turned out to be most of the job. I've spent my career doing exactly that.
Somewhere in those fifteen years I'd quietly become the person people came to for career advice anyway, over coffee, in the corridor before a board meeting.
I'm the eldest of four, and the only girl, which either explains a lot about how I work or nothing at all, depending who you ask. I've been backpacking on and off since I was sixteen, and travel is still the thing I'll rearrange my calendar for. Closer to home, you'll usually find me in a Pilates class (I trained as an instructor), sweating through a Barry's session, a few chapters into a novel, or hunting down the best coffee and the best food wherever I happen to be. I'm also a sucker for a good contemporary gallery and find any excuse to look at interiors inspiration.
