„I recently had the pleasure of working with Anja Pabst for over a year during a critical phase of our HR transformation at Flix. Anja served as an interim Strategic HR Business Partner and quickly became a trusted advisor not only to our leadership team, but also to our People Team colleagues. She combines deep strategic thinking, strong HR background and many years of experience with a pragmatic, hands-on approach, and navigates complex organizational changes with professionalism and empathy. Anja has been highly respected by our leaders, she adapted seamlessly to our unique Flix culture and demonstrated exceptional resilience under pressure. Her ability to coach and guide through demanding restructuring projects and manage sensitive topics makes her an outstanding HR leader and role model. I already worked with Anja during my time as Global Chief People Officer at Signa Sports United and would always work with her again anytime."
