Strategic Talent Partner at BlueCross BlueShield Association, turning talent intelligence into targeted hiring strategies.

United States
Message

At BlueCross BlueShield Association, I lead full-cycle recruiting across executive leadership, technology, healthcare, and other critical functions. I use market intelligence and sourcing data to guide hiring decisions, increasing qualified candidate flow by 25–30% and reducing time-to-hire by 15%.

I create Talent One-Pagers that translate pipeline activity, competitor research, and market trends into actionable insights for hiring managers and senior leaders. I also train and mentor new-hire recruiters in advanced sourcing and AI-enabled recruiting tools.

At Shopify, I recruited technical and GTM talent across the U.S. and Canada, including Product, Data Science, and Customer Success roles. I created talent maps for specialized searches and contributed to a 20% increase in offer acceptance.

At Deutsche Post DHL, I managed global technical and operations recruiting and increased qualified candidate pipelines by 30%. Earlier, I directed a team of four junior recruiters at AllCare Plus Pharmacy and partnered with business leaders to hire 250 Care Managers within six months.
