About Me
Claire Hilbrink-Damen
Hi there, I am Claire – an experienced People & Culture Leader with a demonstrated history of working in the financial services and technology industry within start, scale-ups and SMEs. I currently live in Switzerland and before I used to live for 10 years in Amsterdam where I started my career. I speak many languages (Dutch, French, English, German and a bit of Spanish) and have a top sport mentality. I used to play field hockey for the Brazilian National Team which was a real honor!
I find it important to empower people to fulfill their potential (grow). I want to enrich their lives with the best professional and personal development opportunities for them. Having led with a lot of pleasure many HR teams, I am able to mentor your teams and coach your leaders. I partnered strategically with C-level and senior leaders as a Head of People, Head of People Partnering (Head of HR Business Partners) and Senior HR Business Partner. I was also part of leadership/management teams in my previous roles.
With a can-do mentality, extensive HR background and the right energy, I can make it happen together with you!
