What I'm looking for

I seek senior technical recruitment roles where I can partner with engineering leaders to scale high-bar AI/ML and engineering teams, improve hiring velocity, and drive DE&I.

I am a Strategic Talent Acquisition Partner with 10+ years’ experience scaling high-performing engineering and AI/ML teams across EMEA, US, and MENA. I specialize in hiring for deeply technical roles including LLM/GenAI, Machine Learning, Robotics, Distributed Systems, Cloud, and Product Engineering.

I partner directly with C-level and VP Engineering leaders to design hiring strategies, build interview processes, and deliver rapid results in high-bar environments. I have supported hiring at organisations including Axon, Expedia, Vodafone, Virgin Media O2, ClearScore, Findmypast, and Elsevier.

My approach is data-driven and execution-focused: I reduce hiring cycles, improve hiring velocity, and increase diversity through targeted sourcing, scorecard-based assessments, and process optimisation. Key achievements include doubling robotics teams, rapid senior hires, and significant reductions in time-to-hire.

I am known for influencing stakeholders, improving candidate experience, and eliminating agency reliance where appropriate. I bring a track record of delivering measurable hiring outcomes across Software, AI/ML, Data, Cloud, and DevOps disciplines.
