About

After completing my master’s degree in marketing at Brunel University London, I have built over four years of experience in HR, talent acquisition, account management, and executive recruitment, primarily within the IT and payments industries. I also have expertise in the luxury hotel industry, with a strong background in customer service. I am currently a Recruiter and Account Specialist at Syngenia, a leading provider of engineering and consulting services within the Engie Group. In this role, I collaborate closely with HR Business Partners and Hiring Managers to design and implement recruitment sourcing strategies, plan job days, and conduct candidate screening and interviews for a variety of positions, including senior leadership roles. My expertise spans headhunting, executive search, and IT recruitment, supported by strong teamwork and communication skills. Passionate about connecting top talent with the right opportunities, I value diversity, inclusion, and innovation, bringing a multicultural perspective and marketing mindset to my work. Moving forward, I am eager to expand my expertise into onboarding and employer branding to enhance candidate experience and strengthen organizational culture.
