I am Heidi Byrne

A recruitment leader turned Career & Leadership Coach.

Meeting new people and making connections is why I first became a recruiter finding candidates for top global companies. Along the way I found a passion for helping people spark the next phase of their careers. 

My recruiting journey began on the agency side in Frankfurt, Germany where I used my love of other cultures, languages, and travel in my work. I speak French and German and spent three years recruiting multilingual assistants and HR professionals for the financial services industry. With the same company, I managed a team recruiting for banks, asset managers, and financial data companies in London. I shifted to in-house recruiting when my client, AllianceBernstein, asked me to join their company.
Next, I moved to New York with my husband. It was 2009 and not the best time for a recruiter to be on the market. But through a connection (an example of the power of networking), I met someone at Bloomberg and had many roles there, including Global Head of Direct Sourcing and Global Head of Recruiting for Corporate Functions. 
I now combine my coaching expertise with my recruitment background to support midlife professionals at a career crossroads. I will support you in designing the next phase of your career, which really can be all that you want it to be.
