With a background in both Organisational Psychology and Medical Informatics, Kat brings a unique blend of people insight and healthcare knowledge to her work at Panda. She found the perfect place to merge these skills in our fast-paced, high-impact environment, combining her understanding of the life sciences sector with a passion for building lasting professional relationships.
Kat specialises in working with top Quality professionals across the Netherlands, Belgium, and Switzerland. In a market that evolves constantly, she thrives on the challenge of keeping pace with new developments and guiding people through exciting opportunities and complex career moves. Whether it’s helping a candidate land their dream role or enabling a client to secure the right expertise, Kat approaches every interaction as a true partner - listening, understanding, and tailoring solutions that fit.
One of her proudest moments came when she helped two professionals break into industries they had long aspired to join - healthcare and the cell and gene therapy space. Seeing them take that first step toward their goals was a reminder of the impact the right role can have.
Before joining Panda, Kat spent nearly a decade in hospitality, starting out washing dishes before working her way up to chef de partie and assistant manager. That commitment to seeing things through now defines her recruitment approach: dedicated, resilient, and always focused on delivering exceptional results.
