Workforce
infrastructure
for European scale.
The single executive that founders, CHROs and boards call to design, build and run their workforce, talent, hiring, payroll, mobility, on-site HR, HR tech, automation and AI. From first hire to a 500-person DevOps centre, across 22 European markets and programme-grade work for ESA in Noordwijk.
Most companies don't fail because they can't hire. They struggle because they build the wrong workforce structure too late.
Operating across 22 European markets, with the systems and partners to move at speed.

Andreas rebuilt our European workforce in a quarter. The Series C closed without a single people-side comment in diligence.
He is the rare advisor who does the work, not just the deck. Our HR team grew up around the systems he put in.
We won the tender because Andreas treated the response like a product, not a Word document.
Built in Europe.
Operating worldwide.
13+ years inside the operating layer of workforce — onboarding, payroll, mobility and the technology that holds it together. I work directly with founders, HR leaders and boards, backed by the 39-year legacy of Octagon Professionals.
What I do.
Direct, hands-on advisory across the workforce lifecycle — strategy, analysis, operations, build.
What I don't do.
Boundaries are part of the work. Knowing where I add no value protects yours.
