Avoid establishing a bad name for yourself as an employer and handle dismissals the right way. I assist you with handling all procedures, file building processes, complex tasks and consequences involved in dismissals so that you can stop stressing and get back to doing what you do best – growing your business.

Mission Statement

My mission is to fulfil my passion for helping small to midsize businesses in the Dutch Caribbean be exceptional employers who promote progressive environments for their employees and to use my skill set and experience to enhance young professionals’ chances of employment as they enter the job market.

Vision Statement

I envision becoming a leading HR specialist in the Dutch Caribbean, specifically in Curaçao, Aruba, Bonaire and St. Maarten, building an established name that people can trust within the next 5 years.

Core Values

Trust and Integrity

I value honesty and transparency above all else, remaining committed to building a reliable suite of services that my clients can consistently count on. Open and honest communication is the foundation to chieving a trusted name in the industry.

Evolution and Innovation

As the industry evolves, I strive to remain at the forefront of the changing landscape, allowing my clients, their employees and their businesses to benefit from the latest innovations.

Flexibility and Agility

Keeping up with the latest innovations in the industry, I embrace a flexible approach to the way I work, offering in-person, virtual, interim and long-term services that adapt to the needs of small to midsize businesses and their teams.

Collaboration and Teamwork

As much as I take pleasure in guiding my clients along the way, I also enjoy listening to their perspectives and take what they have to say seriously before implementing a strategy that is tailored to their specific wants and needs.

Authenticity and Connection

I am dedicated to building long-term, genuine connections with my clients and their teams and nurture authentic relationships with staff in order to enhance their working experiences in meaningful and transformative ways.

Goal-oriented and Ambitious

Learning about my clients’ goals and objectives is of utmost importance to seeing optimal success within a company. I remain goal-oriented throughout and enjoy finding creative ways to keep teams passionately focused on achievement and on fostering a growth- mindset.

Employee Happiness and Job Satisfaction

Finding the perfect balance between hard work and happy work is my specialty. I make sure that your employees’ health and general job satisfaction is prioritized in everything we do.

Exceptional Service and Support

I place great emphasis on providing top-quality service and support that you can rely on. Businesses want to know that there is always someone who they can reach out to when they’re in need and I work to remain a valued and respected voice of reason and experience
for all of my clients.

Presenting: The Brand New Face of HR

Taking a flexible and dynamic approach to meeting your business’s specific HR needs, I offer interim and long-term services both in-person or virtually to help your organization to achieve your most exciting ambitions. I have been known to go beyond standard HR services to advise on management and navigating transformation and to tap into my expansive network of professionals, trade unions and governmental representatives to carve out creative solutions for the businesses that I work with. In this way, I am committed to not only providing superior quality HR services, but to also leaving an indelible impact on your business, improving the way that you work on a day-to-day basis so that you can get the most out of your staff’s capabilities and vice versa.

Embracing versatility is the way of the future. Your human capital is the backbone of your business and you need an HR specialist who can shape and mold your team into a forward-thinking group of thought-leaders using pioneering methods and techniques. Allow your business to move with the times and ensure that your priceless personnel is in the best hands as you grow forward. Reach out to me and connect one-on-one so that we can safeguard the future of your organization, one happy employee at a time.

But managing your HR is not as easy as it might sound.

A major challenge for SMEs worldwide is that, while you might be growing rapidly, it is possible that you are not yet in a position to either afford or justify full-time, in-house HR support. Nevertheless, compliance with the current labor laws, best practices and regulations is essential if you want to run a successful, thriving business.

That is where I come in.

With 15 years of professional HR experience, I have led a notable career as a Human Resource Manager for a range of leading organizations and have developed my expertise across a variety of businesses on the islands of the Dutch Caribbean. I have, therefore, established a wealth of industry knowledge and a specialization in the labor laws, rules and regulations in this specific locale, which positions me as one of the few leading independent experts offering focused HR services on the islands of Curaçao, Aruba, Bonaire and St. Maarten.

A people-oriented and self-motivated expert in the business arena, I keep my finger on the pulse of new developments to ensure that your organization is up to date with innovations and that your staff is functioning at an optimal level. Working as an extension of your current team, I take time to learn about your business’s unique culture, goals and structure in order to implement the most efficient systems and processes that will ensure that your HR requirements are always taken care of on both operational and strategic levels. Gone are the days where you needed to have a costly, in-house HR department dedicated to running your internal admin. I am able to fit seamlessly into your organizational structure without hassle, disruption or wasted resources and take care of your unique requirements as and when you need assistance.

I work from the ground up.

Committed to the improvement of the industry at large and to helping to strengthen our growing work force, I also assist young, up-and-coming professionals in preparing for their interviews and securing their dream jobs. While the Dutch Caribbean boasts a wealth of talent in its professional youth, what is often needed is specialist guidance in how to present oneself and put one’s best foot forward in the case of new employment opportunities. I work one-on-one with those looking for resume and cover letter support as well as interview preparation to ensure that potential employees are able to grab hold of the opportunities that are presented to them with confidence.

Don't wait any longer...
