I’ve been partnering with CEOs, Board Members, and Senior Leaders to achieve transformational business results by aligning people strategies and operations with bold organizational goals.

I am an internationally experienced HR executive with a proven track record in leading HR strategy and implementation across complex, multinational organizations.
✔️ Strategic thinker who bridges big-picture vision with hands-on execution.
✔️ Trusted partner to C-suite leaders, known for influence, collaboration, and building lasting credibility.
✔️ Champion of innovation, continuous improvement, and delivering exceptional employee experiences that drive business success.

If you’re a CEO, Founder, or Senior Leader looking to:

- build a thriving culture that fuels performance,
- lead with confidence through uncertainty and change, or
- unlock the full potential of your people to drive business growth,

Let’s connect!.

Let's turn challenges into opportunities and ambition into achievement.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A business thrives when its people thrive. Exceptional execution stems from cultures where employees are empowered to exceed expectations - and where leaders create environments that inspire.

I specialize in guiding leaders and organizations through times of uncertainty and rapid change. Whether as an advisor, coach, or mentor, my greatest impact happens where challenges are complex, stakes are high, and the path forward is unclear.

Transformations are never just technical processes. They’re deeply human. True success requires a delicate balance of employee engagement, leadership excellence, cultural alignment, systems thinking, and purposeful people development.

Throughout my career, I’ve built and led HR functions and teams of up to 50 people at global, regional, and country levels. I’ve spearheaded KPI-driven initiatives that accelerated business growth by focusing on what matters most: PEOPLE.

My international experience spans Germany, Switzerland, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Ghana, and South Africa. These diverse contexts have shaped my ability to navigate cultural nuances, drive impactful change, and deliver results across industries and geographies.

Simon Koerner

Most jobs are not rocket science or brain surgery... give people a chance by choosing attitude over knowledge!

Too many companies overrate skills
and underrate attitude.

They hire for the perfect CV,
then complain about the missing mindset.
They ignore potential,
then wonder why teams don’t grow.

Truth is: most jobs are not rocket science.
Most roles can be learned fast.
But the will to learn?
That can’t be taught.

Here are ten principles that change
how you hire, grow, and trust people:

1️⃣ Hire for hunger, train for skill.
Choose the person who wants it more
than the person who knows it all.

2️⃣ Look for learners, not know-it-alls.
Curiosity beats experience
when the world keeps changing.

3️⃣ Spot character in small moments.
How people treat others
tells you more than any CV.

4️⃣ Give people real responsibility early.
Confidence grows when trust is felt,
not when trust is promised.

5️⃣ Normalize not knowing.
Make learning safe
so mistakes turn into mastery.

6️⃣ Reward effort, not ego.
People rise faster
when appreciation is louder than fear.

7️⃣ Build teams with diverse strengths.
Knowledge overlaps,
but attitude multiplies.

8️⃣ Remove the perfection test.
Potential hides behind pressure.
Lower the fear, raise the growth.

9️⃣ Coach with clarity and patience.
People grow faster
when guidance feels like support.

🔟 Choose kindness as your baseline.
Humans learn best
where they feel respected.


When you bet on attitude,
you’re betting on possibility.
You’re betting on someone becoming
more than their résumé ever captured.

Companies don’t scale through experts.
They scale through humans
who show up with grit, humility,
and the fire to get better each day.

People Leader. Business Partner. Change Enthusiast.

A great boss wants you to outgrow them…
and that’s why so many never become great.

They fear being replaced.
They fear being outshined.

I had one leader
who changed everything.
She never raised her voice.
Never flexed her title.
She simply said,
“I want you to be better
than me one day.”

And she proved it.
She gave me space.
She gave me chances.
She gave me room
to make a mess
and still learn from it.

It felt strange -
almost uncomfortable -
to be supported
without hidden strings.

That’s when I learned,
what great bosses do:
 
➡️ They lift, not limit
- They want your wings to work.
- Do this: ask your people what they want to master.

➡️ They give real chances
- Growth needs risk, not safety.
- Do this: hand over one task you guard too closely.

➡️ They don’t compete downwards
- Your success doesn’t shrink them.
- Do this: celebrate a colleague’s achievement louder.

➡️ They share their playbook
- Knowledge hoarding is insecurity.
- Do this: teach something you once had to learn alone.

➡️ They confront with care
- Honesty helps you rise.
- Do this: give feedback without softening the truth.

➡️ They push your edges
- Potential grows in stretch zones.
- Do this: set one goal that feels “slightly scary.”

➡️ They protect your back
- Safety builds bravery.
- Do this: stand up for someone not in the room.

➡️ They want your win
- That’s the whole point.
- Do this: tell someone you believe in their next step.

If you’ve ever had
a boss like this,
you know it changes you.
If you’ve ever BEEN
a boss like this,
you know it changes
everyone around you.

Who was the leader
that gave you the gift?

A bad manager breaks your confidence.
A good one rebuilds it - brick by brick.
But here’s the twist…

The real damage isn’t what bad managers
do to your work.
It’s what they make you believe
about yourself.

We grow up thinking confidence is
self-made.
Built from grit.
Discipline.
Hard work.
But that’s only half the truth.
Confidence is shaped by the people
who lead you.
Bad managers shrink your world.
Good managers expand it.

Here is what good managers do differently:

❌️Bad managers critique identity.
✅️Good ones critique behavior:
➡️Shift to what happened, not
who you are.


❌️Bad managers hoard power.
✅️Good ones share context:
➡️Explain the “why” today.


❌️Bad managers create fear.
✅️Good ones create clarity:
➡️State expectations simply.


❌️Bad managers judge quickly.
✅️Good ones listen first:
➡️Hold your reaction 10 seconds.


❌️Bad managers take credit.
✅️Good ones give it away.
➡️Name someone’s contribution.


❌️Bad managers push harder.
✅️Good ones remove blockers.
➡️Ask: “What’s in your way?”


❌️Bad managers hide feedback.
✅️Good ones make it normal.
➡️Offer one small insight weekly.


❌️Bad managers fix people.
✅️Good ones grow them.
➡️Spot one strength and amplify it.


❌️Bad managers demand loyalty.
✅️Good ones earn it.
➡️Show consistency, not slogans.


Remember:
If a bad manager makes you doubt
yourself,
a great one hands you back the truth -
that you were capable all along.
