With 16+ years in Talent Acquisition, I’ve built my career around a simple belief: great hiring fuels great businesses. From Silicon Valley to the dynamic markets of Asia, I’ve had the privilege of shaping talent strategies that don’t just fill roles—they drive growth. I specialize in GTM and Tech hiring, with deep expertise in executive search, leadership hiring, and navigating complex talent needs across sectors like IT, finance, healthcare, electronics, and manufacturing. Whether it's building out a sales org in APAC or filling a mission-critical engineering role in a competitive market, I bring a balance of data-driven strategy and human insight. Throughout my journey, I’ve reduced cost-per-hire by 25%, built scalable recruitment frameworks, and consistently delivered on hard-to-fill positions. I believe in blending traditional sourcing with AI-driven recruitment tools—a modern approach that keeps the process agile, efficient, and candidate-focused. What drives me? Creating impact through people. I love partnering with hiring managers to shape hiring narratives, influence decisions with data, and build high-performing teams that reflect both business goals and inclusive values. Beyond work, I actively participate in global HR forums to stay sharp and ahead of trends. I see recruitment as both a craft and a strategy—and I’m committed to evolving with it every day.
