Since 2020 I have worked as a business manager for consulting firms in Brussels, most of that time in life sciences. The job combined three roles: winning and managing client accounts, recruiting consultants from the first interview to the signed contract, and managing them once they were on a project.
At one point that meant a team of twenty-two consultants, their projects and their career paths. It taught me what a CV does not show: how someone works with a client, what makes them stay, and why a profile that looks right on paper sometimes isn't.
I founded LPE Consulting to focus on the part of the job I enjoy most: helping people grow professionally, and helping companies find them.
