Bio
Sabine van Zanten
I have worked with Ginger at Ericsson, where we developed the Global M&A Process and Playbook, developed internal trainings to educate the HR and M&A Professionals but also worked together on several acquisitions and divestments. It has been great working and learning from Ginger. She has extensive knowledge in the M&A Area, great communication skills and in front of customers. In addition, she is a great leader and it was a pleasure being part of her team.

Whether you are using Ginger as a strategic consultant, a presenter or to make you look more professional in your writing or presentations, you will shocked at her abilities to convey your message in a way that is effective and creates a connection. Ginger has a unique blend of big picture thinking and an attention to getting things done right. Over the two decades I've been acquainted with Ginger, I’ve seen her handle tricky employment issues, take on complicated M & A Global Issues and then relate to all organizational levels from high leadership to job seekers. Another talent is her ability to develop outstanding employment materials. From revamping resumes to content editing of several of my books, I've witnessed firsthand her practical leadership knowledge and awareness of the proper way to communicate for a corporate environment. Most impressive is her ability to quickly fine-tune writing, especially mine, to connect with the reader effectively.
