BIO

Romanie is building a platform that will forever alter the way businesses hire experienced workers – what she calls the ‘flexperts’. As a successful head-hunter, she understands first-hand how companies can hire and retain senior staff – the answer is flexible, fair, and supportive working arrangements. More critically, during her decade-long career as a senior recruiter, Romanie saw little progress on diversity at the leadership level. Today, less than 10% of business executives are women. Romanie has a vision to grow this percentage to 50% by 2027, and with the success of Juggle Jobs and its flexpert community, she is uniquely positioned to do so. 

Founded in 2017, Juggle Jobs is the leading digital platform to find, onboard, and manage, experienced, flexible professionals – called ‘flexperts’. It has over 15,000 individuals on its platform, matching employers with potential candidates, focusing on flexible contracts. The team is diverse, with six nationalities (Italian, Hungarian, Indian, English, German, Russian) working across five countries (Hungary, UAE, Portugal, Scotland, England), while women account for 50% of the leadership team and 46% of the company. In November 2020, Romanie raised $2M from global VCs, and the company recently closed a successful crowdfunding campaign - achieving 133% of the target. In 2021, Juggle Jobs made the annual list of the UK’s most disruptive businesses - Startups 100.
