I spent 7 years inside McKinsey & Company, learning the firm’s operating rhythm at the highest level. I started my career working directly alongside (Senior) Partners, understanding exactly how top-tier decision-makers evaluate talent and performance. During this time, I consistently ranked in the top 3% to 7% within Germany. I then transitioned into my core expertise: Recruiting. As a Senior Recruiter for McKinsey, I managed target university pipelines, ran interview days, and directed the Capstone retention program. Following McKinsey, I joined ZEISS Group as a Senior Recruiter, partnering directly with Ex-MBB hiring managers to build teams in Corporate Strategy, Business Innovation, and Ventures. From more than 2500 interviews and candidate interactions, I know the actual HR screening logics, the benchmarks, and why candidates fail the Personal Interviews or PEI. Today, I am the founder of Curate Futures, building top-tier recruiting systems for organizations and positioning ambitious candidates for success. I bring the decision-maker’s perspective. After a decade operating inside McKinsey and ZEISS Group, I have interviewed thousands of candidates. I know the actual HR screening logics, the benchmarks, and why most narratives fail under pressure. I am an excellent interviewer who knows exactly how to design a top-tier CV and how to uncover your undeniable spike. I will ask you the tough questions and expose the weak spots in your story so that the actual interview feels easy. You will walk into the room with confidence, equipped to give the interview direction and focus on what actually matters to secure the offer.
