About

I co-founded Blackbird Talent Solutions to make a difference in the recruitment industry by being a trusted partner not only to our clients but also to our candidates. I have international experience over many years working in four different countries in Europe and Latin America. I add value to recruitment both coming from a corporate background myself, and by focusing on behavioral analysis and the art of understanding people. If you are looking for advice on how to develop and build your team, or personal and professional development, feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn or contact me at [email protected]. I’m looking forward to speaking with you.
