What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead talent acquisition and account strategies, drive process improvements, mentor teams, and partner with stakeholders to scale hiring across regions.

I am a driven Global Account Manager and Talent Acquisition leader with extensive experience building client relationships, leading recruitment teams, and executing full-cycle hiring across EMEA and Africa. I combine data-driven recruiting, stakeholder management, and project leadership to deliver high offer-acceptance rates and scalable talent solutions.

I have led tech talent programs at Amazon, Standard Bank, and EY, created sourcing and market-mapping playbooks, managed ATS and implementation projects, and served as an Africa SME and global change champion. I thrive on improving processes, mentoring teams, and partnering with hiring managers to align talent strategy with business growth.
