Introducing The Career Muse: Sonja Muller Launches New Advisory Offering

After decades advising companies on the leadership talent they need to grow, Sonja Muller is now offering guidance to the people behind those roles.

We’re excited to announce the launch of a new consulting arm led by our founder, Sonja Muller – a trusted executive advisor whose insights have shaped the leadership strategies of some of the world’s most dynamic organizations. Building on her extensive global experience in executive search, Sonja will now offer bespoke career advisory sessions to individuals navigating pivotal career moments.

Whether it’s a recent graduate unsure how to enter today’s competitive job market, a mid-career professional seeking clarity on the path to leadership, or an executive exploring reinvention, Sonja brings the same thoughtful, candid perspective that’s made her a go-to for C-suite leaders and founders around the world.

This offering was born from demand. Over the years, Sonja has become a trusted voice for professionals across industries and levels – known for saying what others won’t and offering clarity when it’s needed most. Her candor, strategic thinking, and refusal to sugarcoat have made her the person people call when they want honest, grounded advice about their next move.

As a recruiter, Sonja has long believed that careers are not linear. They are layered. And success rarely follows a script. That belief now forms the foundation of her advisory work: a space where people can think boldly, ask the right questions, and reframe what leadership looks like in today’s world.

Known affectionately by many as “The Career Muse,” Sonja brings her signature mix of strategic insight, real-world candor, and cross-generational wisdom to every conversation. With roots in South Africa and a career that’s spanned six continents, she’s guided professionals through industries, cultures, and economic cycles – always with a clear focus on aligning personal growth with professional purpose.

We’re proud to now formalize this part of her work and invite those looking for clarity, challenge, or simply a fresh perspective to connect.
