About Daniela

With over 25 years of experience in executive search and leadership advisory across the UK, Europe, and Africa, I’ve successfully placed top-tier talent in both executive and non-executive board roles. For the past 15 years, my focus has been on supporting Private Equity-backed portfolio companies, helping them attract and engage exceptional talent to drive innovation and deliver outstanding results. In 2014, I founded Anderson Partners, an Executive Search and talent management firm. We specialize in partnering with Private Equity firms and high-growth companies, offering creative and bespoke solutions to not only secure the best talent but also to provide valuable market insights and strategies that enhance investment outcomes. I personally lead every project from start to finish, while collaborating with a network of sector specialists to ensure tailored expertise on each assignment. I hold a Joint Honours MA in International Relations and Italian Literature from the University of St. Andrews, Scotland. As a German-Italian national fluent in five languages, I have lived and worked internationally for much of my career, which has given me a deep appreciation of cultural diversity in an increasingly interconnected world. Outside of my professional work, I am passionate about community service and giving back. I serve on the board of Action West London, a social mobility charity, and I also sit as a Justice of the Peace in London's adult courts, a role that has deepened my awareness of social issues and strengthened my commitment to fairness and justice. Additionally, I am a Parent Governor at my local primary school, where I advocate for the well-being and educational standards of students. Through my professional endeavors and charitable activities, I am fortunate to meet extraordinary people who inspire and enrich my journey every day.
