As a Talent Acquisition Manager, I lead a high-performing global team of five across EMEA and the United States, spearheading recruitment efforts for both tech and non-tech roles across all areas of the business. My focus is on building dynamic, high-impact teams that drive organizational success while ensuring a seamless and inclusive candidate experience. With over 10 years of experience in recruitment, I bring a depth of expertise in designing and executing strategic hiring plans tailored to diverse business needs.

My SHRM-CP certification underscores my commitment to fostering inclusive work environments and acting as a catalyst for organizational change. I specialize in leveraging data-driven insights, process optimization, and proactive outreach strategies to attract top talent from every corner of the globe. My approach is rooted in collaboration, building robust partnerships, and cultivating talent pipelines that pave the way for sustained growth and innovation. Beyond recruitment, I have a strong track record in large-scale project management, client engagement with senior-level executives, team leadership, and coaching. I am passionate about creating long-term value for organizations by connecting exceptional talent with opportunity and building workplaces that celebrate diversity, equity, and belonging. Let’s connect—I’m always looking to exchange ideas, elevate conversations around talent strategies, and build meaningful professional networks.
