Associate Director

Annie joined our Finance & Accounting recruitment team in Switzerland in December 2021, with previous experience in the recruitment sector, specifically business development and account management.

She strives to make the recruitment process as enjoyable as possible, embedding an element of fun where applicable. Annie understands the common pain points candidates may have when searching for finance jobs in Switzerland and refuses to force a partnership between candidate and client; she values mutual synergy between both parties and can read between the lines.

Her skills have enabled her to build an extensive network within the Finance & Accountancy market and she regularly attends our events in partnership with Institute of Management Accountants (IMA).

Annie has both a personal and professional interest in Finance, studying the markets regularly, and learning about current trends and company operations.

Overall, Annie can challenge and champion both candidates and clients and really enjoys talking to people across different backgrounds, industries, and seniorities.
