“I believe in clarity, results, and relationships that last. I want to be an advisor who dares to challenge, asks the right questions, and brings new perspectives.”

 

Magdalena has 25 years of experience in sales, recruitment, executive search, and leadership in commercial roles. Her career has progressed step by step — from sales roles with staff and budget responsibility, through leading positions in recruitment and staffing, to business area accountability and operational roles with full P&L and people management responsibility. That breadth means she moves seamlessly between the strategic and the operational, with experience spanning listed global corporations, US-owned companies, and owner-led growth businesses.

 

What drives Magdalena is understanding what actually makes people and organizations perform. Often, the real challenge isn’t the one described in the brief — and her strength lies in identifying where things are actually off, before the client has even put it into words.

 

She is a certified user and trainer in several of the market’s leading personality assessment tools (Big Five and HEXACO) and is an ICC-certified coach (Unestål Education/Lambent, EMCC-accredited). A particular focus is how AI can be applied practically in leadership — as a tool that strengthens it, not replaces it.

 

Her core areas of expertise:
→ Recruitment and executive search, from start to finish
→ Personality assessment and competency evaluation
→ Leadership and team development
→ AI strategy and practical application in leadership
→ Coaching and advisory support for leadership teams

 

“Whether I’m working with a client or a candidate, the goal is always the same – to create solutions that last, where both people and organizations have the opportunity to grow and succeed.”
