Antoinette is an HR and talent acquisition consultant with 7+ years’ experience, specialising in technical recruitment across biotech, pharma, and emerging technologies.

Antoinette is an experienced HR and talent acquisition consultant who combines a background in science with expertise in recruiting specialised technical talent.

At Volvo AB and Morrow Batteries, she partnered with internal teams and external recruitment firms to source highly skilled professionals in engineering, product development, electrochemistry, and quality and validation.

She is motivated by connecting organisations with the talent that drives innovation, while creating meaningful career opportunities that shape the future of science and industry.
