Caroline Pill is a Partner at Heidrick & Struggles with a squiggly career from Law to Luxury. She was born in Antwerp and has lived and worked in London, New York, Shanghai, Amsterdam and Brussels. At 18 years old Caroline felt overwhelmingly curious about life so decided to move to Brussels to begin her law studies which in turn took her to Yale Law School and then to working as a lawyer in one of New York's most prestigious law firms. The initial path made sense to her as she had grown up in a loving and high achieving environment. Her family were immigrants and her father a holocaust survivor which meant that there was a strong sense of survival and resilience in all.
Whilst Caroline appreciated the intellectual challenge of law, she deeply missed the people element and in her 20's she found that the driving force was love which in turn took her to China following her heart❤️. With every decision, Caroline had to adapt to the consequences which included changing careers, locations and influences in her life. Her superpower was her ability to be a chameleon however unsettling her life became including dealing with a divorce and a pandemic at the same time. When the going gets touch, Caroline studies! It is her route out of chaos and uncertainty hence her side careers of personal training and executive coaching.
Today, Caroline leads the global practice for fashion, luxury and beauty at Heidrick & Struggles based in London. The role lets Caroline play her strengths, leverage her analytical focus and help people connect to people. We are all work in progress and a squiggly career is a career of leaning, failure and never settling.
