What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role in talent acquisition at a high-growth tech or GTM-focused company where I can scale hiring, improve quality of hire, and build programs for long-term talent success.

I am a Senior Talent Acquisition Partner with deep experience scaling hiring operations for hyper-growth tech companies, driving consistent overperformance against hiring targets and improving quality of hire across sales, technology, and early-career programs.

I have led initiatives that doubled headcount, built high-performing sales and public sector teams, launched an early-professional program, and reduced time-to-fill through scalable recruitment strategies — recognized repeatedly with global and regional recruiting awards.
