About

I'm a Talent Acquisition leader and HRBP with 8 years of full-cycle recruiting experience — building hiring functions from scratch, scaling cross-border teams, and delivering candidate experiences that convert. My work spans tech, fintech, and professional services across LATAM, the US, Canada, and EMEA. I specialize in the intersection where strategy meets execution: owning recruiting roadmaps, advising hiring managers on compensation and assessment, and simultaneously managing the HR operations side — employee relations, labor law compliance, and local entity setup — for Mexico operations. On the side, I've built two AI-powered recruiting tools — a career coaching web app serving the LATAM market and a candidate-sourcing platform with AI-driven scoring and multi-source integration.
