Our team

Emile Ipenburg

I gain a lot of energy from people who have passion and pleasure in what they do and radiate that. And whatever profession or hobby that is, it doesn't matter to me. Just having a passion for what you do and doing it with full dedication, is what I think we can distinguish ourselves as a company. I think these are basic ingredients for success. This applies to the companies and people we work for, but also to our own team.

Claudia Jonkers

Since 2013, I have been part of the LIME family and from the first moment I felt at home here. Our DNA, honesty, connecting and passion, is deeply anchored in our culture and the way we work. Both from LIME and LEMON, the high potential label that I was able to co-found. Quality, building long-term relationships and really helping others. That's what I do it for. And the fact that I can do that with such a wonderful group of people is the icing on the cake for me.

Kars Kroon

I have gone through all phases of recruitment in my career and get the most energy from 'mediating' at Executive Search level. A combination of entrepreneurship, customer-oriented activities and commercial services. Every day, I help Finance professionals advance in their careers and think along with clients and various business issues. The family feeling I get at LIME makes it complete. A nice balance between quality, hard work and having a lot of fun together.

Rolf Elderenbosch

During my studies in Tax Law at Erasmus University in Rotterdam, the mix of law and economics really appealed to me. After my studies, I started my career at Ernst & Young as a tax advisor in the international practice in Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Chicago. I then worked for four years as a Team Manager at a search agency listed in England. The entrepreneurial spirit runs in the family and that is partly why entrepreneurship in LIME really appeals to me.

Sjoerd Tijssen

During my economics studies, I got into recruitment and this was a bull's eye: pure numbers turned out to suit me less, but people all the more! I have now built up a large network and I enjoy maintaining it. I get a lot of energy from people and of course from the various organizations we help. In recent years I have helped the LIME team grow. I think being successful together and helping companies and professionals move forward is the best thing there is!

Maureen Strijbos

After studying Communication Management and Public Administration and Organizational Sciences, I ended up in the recruitment profession. I have been active in employment mediation in the broadest sense of the word for 7 years, namely in the secondment, interim and recruitment & selection branch. In recent years, I have enjoyed focusing on the recruitment of permanent finance positions in executive search. Working at LIME Search & Connection means working with a great team and a diverse customer portfolio.

Martijn van de Merwe

Every day, I work together with my great colleagues at LIME with the aim of being a top Executive Search party within the financial discipline in the business world. Being in constant contact with many different people, both candidates and clients or within our own fantastic team, gives me a lot of energy and makes this the professional setting that I would like to be part of!

Frederik Tijssen

While completing my Masters, I started competing in both competitive rowing and recruitment. Since June 2019, I have been making personal connections at LIME, but do not lose sight of professionalism. The dynamics between financial and customer fascinate me in particular and with my background in both communication and organizational science, I am a trusted partner for both.

Cynthia Mourits

In my previous recruitment jobs I was in a lot of contact with CFOs and Business Controllers. Working with them gave me a lot of energy. Getting to know these financials well and mediating with them is the best thing there is. I think it is important to understand the industry, culture and ambitions of organizations, and to match this with the qualities of a person. So that sustainable relationships are entered into. At LIME I therefore focus on permanent positions.

Laura Gorseling

After completing my Communication studies, I transitioned into the recruitment field through hospitality. Being service-oriented has always been part of my job, and it's where I derive a lot of positive energy from. Connecting people and assisting companies and professionals further is what makes me carry out this profession with great pleasure for over four years now. Within LIME search, I focus on permanent positions and have the opportunity to develop myself in the field of Executive Search.

Tobias Slot

Na mijn studie Arbeids- & Organisatie psychologie was ik op zoek naar een dynamische en mensgerichte baan in het bedrijfsleven. Bij LIME-/LEMON Search ben ik er trots op om als carrière partner sterke Finance professionals verder te helpen in hun loopbaan. Ook haal ik veel energie uit het nóg verder helpen groeien van organisaties. Privé ben ik een fervent liefhebber van reizen, (motor- & vecht-)sport en sauna’s.

Gijs Swinkels

During my HR studies I got involved in recruitment and have never left this sector. The first part of my career was mainly in the mediation of technical professionals within the Aerospace domain. I did this with great pleasure, but when it was time for something new and LIME Search&Connection came my way, it was a hit right away. The combination of the commercial and connecting that I do as a Consultant, and the fantastic family atmosphere at our offices, makes me go to work with great pleasure. It is also great to be at our new office in Den Bosch, to further expand our activities in the South region together with colleagues.

Katie Brokmann

After obtaining my Master's degree in International Economics, I started my career in the investment sector. For ten years, I worked as an investment manager in venture capital and private equity. During this period, I closely analyzed many companies and management teams, and it became clear to me how essential good leadership is for successful strategic execution. These insights, combined with my curious and connecting nature, led me to make the switch to Executive Search at LIME Search. Finding the perfect match between professionals and companies gives me a lot of energy and satisfaction, because in this way I contribute to the growth of both individuals and organizations.
