Heidi Wassini

“I had the pleasure of working under Heidi's leadership at Vivino, and I can confidently say that she is an exceptional leader in recruitment and talent acquisition. I have learned a lot from her in our short time together at Vivino. She is not only an ocean of knowledge in Talent Acquisition, Recruitment, and Employer Branding, but she is also a wonderful human being who cares deeply for her team. What sets Heidi apart is her unwavering commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and her dedication to implementing these principles in every aspect of her work and team. Heidi's expertise in recruitment and talent acquisition is second to none. Her strategic insights, industry knowledge, and her knack for building recruitment processes keeping in mind candidate experience, have consistently elevated the organizations she's been a part of. She is a true visionary in her field, and her impact on our team at Vivino was undeniable. What truly stands out about Heidi is her genuine care for her team members. Even after her tenure at Vivino, she continued to be a supportive mentor and friend to us. Her ability to maintain connections and offer guidance is a testament to her commitment to the personal and professional growth of her team. Moreover, Heidi is a true champion of DEI. She doesn't just talk the talk; she walks the walk. Heidi integrates DEI principles into every facet of her work; like the saying "Charity begins at home," she ensures that everyone in our team, irrespective of background and culture, has a sense of belonging and feels inclusive and equitable. Her dedication to fostering an environment where every team member feels valued and heard is inspiring. Heidi is not just a manager; she's a role model for leadership in the 21st century. If you're seeking a recruitment and talent acquisition expert who is also a compassionate leader and someone committed to the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion, Heidi is the ideal choice. It was an honor to work with her at Vivino, and I have no doubt that she will continue to be a driving force for positive change in any organization she chooses to be a part of.”

“I can only recommend Heidi as one of the most innovative experts within TA & EB I have ever come across. She is a natural leader and strives to develop her team, peers, stakeholders and the company with her enthusiasm and deep functional knowledge. I have no doubt when saying, I would love to work with Heidi again. Until then, I find her analogy to push the TA & EB agenda very inspiring.”

“Heidi is one of those very special people who can be very hard to describe with few words. You always know when Heidi is at the office, which is great! Her bubbly personality is infectious, and she always has a minute to listen, help, support, or offer great advice. In my role as an EA to the CEO, I often work closely with HR/P&C, and I must admit, I have never met a talent hunter who truly lives and breathes for her profession in the same way as Heidi does. She is greatly missed, and anyone who gets to work with, manage, get TA advice from, or be hired by Heidi is a lucky winner.”

“I had the absolute honour and pleasure to work with Heidi at Vivino when I was the head of Product Design and Research. She was such a positive mentor for me during my scaling surges and when I was experiencing team obstacles and frictions. She really knows her craft and is extremely skilled in her expertise. She always keeps a very calm demeanor even during stressful periods. When I left Vivino I made sure to keep in touch with her so I can bounce ideas with her whenever I am in a rut. Anyone would be lucky and fortunate to have an opporunity to work with Heidi and to LEARN from Heidi.”

“I had the immense pleasure of working with Heidi at Vivino, and can honestly say that both myself and Vivino is a lot better for it. Heidi is a confident, kind, loyal, generous, honest, self-aware, critical, driven, passionate, empathetic, skilled, curious and ambitious person, who knows what she’s doing but never stops to seek out information on how to improve, and develop both personally and professionally. She is everyone’s cheerleader and has the magic power of being able to read people in a way I have never come across before, and she uses that magic power for good. She is not afraid to look inwards and always takes responsibility for her actions. Heidi is the most loyal and biggest advocate for her employer, and she is a fantastic brand ambassador. Heidi gets my most heartfelt recommendation any day of week, and she would be an asset to any company looking to drastically enrich their work culture, while also having a leading expert within their field. If you have the opportunity to work with Heidi, take it! You won’t regret it. ”

“As CMO at Vivino, I had the pleasure of working with Heidi in her role as Global Head of Talent Acquisition and Employer Branding. Heidi is a powerful combination of passionate, purposeful, and performance-oriented. She is hell-bent on ensuring a positive candidate and employee experience, using a mix of data, theory, and intuition, and a great sparring partner, capable of listening actively and challenging to greater ends. Heidi was also a member of the working group on the overall brand strategy, providing valuable input in general, but also ensuring we considered the critical stakeholder groups she primarily serves— employees and candidates— in order to birth a robust, relevant, and aligned employer brand. To boot, Heidi is a fun, engaged, and energetic member of any team, who buoys the group while we focus on the task at hand.”

“Heidi played a significant role in the initial hiring phase of Vivino's Australian operations; instrumental in guiding myself as a hiring manager, as well as managing expectations with candidates. Her feedback and guidance made the process run as smoothly as I could have hoped for, and her efforts were positively received by all involved through the process.”

“At the time Heidi joined Vivino, the company was in the midst of raising it's largest fundraising round. After the raise, Heidi and her team were tasked with filling over 160 new positions. With operations in over 19 countries, and employees in over 12, this was no simple feat. Heidi showed a huge capacity to bridge her knowledge across cultures, time-zones, and regulatory bodies. Heidi was an indispensable partner to our team when we were securing a San Francisco-based financial analyst. Furthermore, Heidi was a key partner to FP&A when delivering the monthly headcount and recruiting forecast. With the help of Heidi's diligent data collection and reporting, we were able to track the progress of our hiring initiative and project monthly payroll expense. Above all, Heidi is a sheer joy to work with and always brings her positive and authentic self to the office. She comes with my highest regard.”

“Heartfelt recommendation for Heidi, with whom I have the pleasure to work at Vivino. 3 things stand out for me when I reflect on my time working together: - Heidi always seeks to understand and gets the big picture of the business. She approaches her function with a business mindset, not with a function-specific perspective, and that really helps her add value to the business. - Heidi has strong expertise and is not afraid to share it! At Vivino Heidi clearly helped us step up our game and many companies, including some larger ones I have worked with, would benefit from taking the more structured and rigorous approach to talent acquisition and the identification of the needs of the business that Heidi helped us adopt. - Finally, I sincerely appreciate the kind and empathetic spirit and the passion for diversity and inclusion that Heidi champions every day, in and out of her role. There is no question in my mind that any business would benefit greatly from working with Heidi!”

“I have had the pleasure to work with Heidi during her time at Pandora. Heidi is a hard working TA professional with a great energy. She is genuinely interested in people around her and she makes an effort to understand people’s differences and make everyone feel comfortable. I admire her drive and her eagerness to always learn more and develop her skill set even more - and I hope I'll get the chance to work with her again. ”

Hendes professionalisme, tilgang til feltet og store viden har været en kæmpe inspiration. Heidi er som leder, nok den bedste jeg har haft og hendes evne til at lære fra sig, og altid udfordre på de helt rigtige punkter er beundringsværdigt. Jeg har også været så heldig at få et venskab til Heidi, som jeg sætter stor pris på. Heidi har sat skub i min personlige og faglige udvikling gennem mit år hos Nilfisk ved konstant at give ansvar, stille spørgsmål ved min praksis og sætte gang i min selvrefleksion. Jeg vil til hver en tid varmt anbefale Heidi, som både leder, recruiter, mentor, fagperson, ven og menneske. ”

“Ramboll Qatar was in need of a specialist recruitment consultant for several very large multidisciplinary projects. Heidi was a lifesaver, she was able to review our existing practices and policies and reform our processes and overall recruitment strategy. I was coached by Heidi as part of the knowledge transfer process that she had set up, she made me realise that my knowledge of recruitment was out of date and extremely limited. Heidi worked with the senior management team to impart the latest developments within her specialist field. From these exercises we learned how to focus and concentrate on what we needed for the role and how to select the appropriate candidate, and then how to communicate this to a wider audience coherently. Heidi was always positive, worked very hard and was very supportive; even when working with Engineers that normally don’t find the softer management disciplines easy to understand. I would recommend Heidi without reservation and hope to work with her again. ”

“I have rarely met a person who is as dedicated, toward not only her job but toward the people who are affected by the wok that she does, as Heidi is. Her strong work ethics and engagement in continuously developing within her field will make her a valuable asset to any company. I have a profound respect for the professional competences that Heidi wields every day. She has a deeply professional approach towards strategic recruitment and a subtle way of displaying the effects and consequences of every scenarios and decision. Hereby, she enables the organization to make the best possible decisions regarding strategic recruitment. Not only is Heidi a strong person in the workplace. She also has a rare insight into the people around her and she shows a genuine desire to involve herself in other people. Heidi and I started out as colleagues and besides having created a strong personal friendship along the way; Heidi has also turned into my mentor. With her unique ability to turn any scenario or challenge upside down, she can provide a positive or constructive spin and hereby a new approach to any issue I present her with. I will warmly recommend Heidi both from a personal and a professional perspective.”
