Panepistimon

Twelve years of learning as I went — so you do not have to

I moved to Denmark for the design culture and the Hans Christian Andersen fairytale, the equality and the quality of life, and stayed for the work-life balance, the respect for the individual and the trust at the workplace. Twelve years later I can call Copenhagen home. My mission is to empower others to navigate Danish work culture and build a life that suits their needs.

Panepistimon is the table I wish someone had pulled a chair up to, back when I was still guessing.

Who I work with

Greeks and southern Europeans in Copenhagen navigating Danish work culture; early career and reading the unwritten rules for the first time, or mid-to-senior and either mid-negotiation or recently displaced by restructuring, wanting a second opinion or revamping their career navigation game.

HR leads and business owners who want a partner before a hire's first 90 days go sideways, or when a senior hire is quietly heading for the door. I bring hiring and assessment experience across Novo Nordisk, Ramboll, and 3Shape to the table.

Either way, you leave with a strategy built for your situation — not a generic, one-size-fits-all curriculum.

The intro is for individuals. Partnering is for HR leads and business owners.
