About us

Our approach is based on our own experience.

We have both sat on the other side of the table as executives: we have supported transformations, managed budgets, led teams, hired people – and also let them go. It is precisely this experience that informs every candidate assessment and every coaching session.

Together, we are ZOOM Consult:
executive search and career coaching for beauty, longevity, lifestyle, FMCG and retail.
