The appointment
What the business needed.
The brief
A software business expanding in Germany, Austria and Switzerland needed a regional HR leader. It wanted consistent HR practices that still respected the culture and requirements of each market.
What made it hard
Germany, Austria and Switzerland share a language but not an employment-law system, and Switzerland sits outside the EU. The region was also growing, so the new leader had to build consistency while the business expanded.

What changed
The person appointed brought regional leaders into closer agreement, developed engagement programmes around local needs and connected HR KPIs with commercial results. Their work gave the region more structure and stability during expansion.
