What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead and scale global talent functions, combining executive search, workforce planning, recruitment infrastructure, and AI-enabled hiring with human-in-the-loop principles.

At Automattic, I scaled recruitment from 75 to 600+ annual hires in 18 months while remaining hands-on with senior, complex, C-suite, VP, and CEO special-project searches. I built workforce planning, predictive hiring models, and recruitment infrastructure for a distributed workforce of 2,000+ people across 90+ countries.

I've reduced agency spend by $2M+, brought time-to-hire from 90+ days to under 60, and made proactive sourcing responsible for 85% of hires. I also led AI transformation in recruiting operations, rolling out Metaview, DeeplyTalented, and custom LibreChat and Claude agents, while building hiring for Applied AI product teams.

Previously, I led People and Talent at Lendable and Cleo AI, supported global growth at ConsenSys, and led TA across EMEA and APAC at Apttus. I build practical, scalable hiring systems that balance ambitious growth with strong workforce planning and human-in-the-loop hiring practices.
