Maja joined Venari Partners as a Research Consultant in May 2025, focusing on the Finance & Transformation practice. In her role, she supports the delivery of senior finance assignments through targeted candidate outreach, in-depth research, and insightful interviewing. She thrives on building strong networks and ensuring clients secure the right leadership talent to drive their businesses forward.

Before joining Venari Partners, Maja spent a year in Switzerland working at a boutique executive search firm, where she operated as a generalist across sectors including luxury goods, FMCG, life sciences, engineering, and financial services. Prior to that, she spent six years in London, beginning her career at a global executive search firm specialising in professional services. Maja later moved to a firm focused on chief people officer placements, where she deepened her expertise in candidate engagement and delivery.
