At Systems Limited (Group), I lead talent acquisition across global Cloud & Infrastructure, ERP & CRM, and BFSI hiring. I also lead and mentor a five-member team and partner with senior leadership on workforce planning.

As Manager - Talent Acquisition, I managed global technical hiring across APAC, China, India, the Middle East, South Asia, and Australia, developing hiring plans for emerging technology roles. Earlier, I recruited for technical and non-technical roles at organizations including RopstamSolutionsInc.(Canada), FAAZConsulting (McLean,US), and TippingPointsTechnologies(China&Pakistan).
