What I'm looking for

I’m interested in helping early-stage companies build their teams and scale globally, while supporting people as they move forward in their careers.

At Valerie Group, I’m building teams across India, the Philippines, Australia, Singapore, and Dubai. I moved from TA Lead + Product to Global Talent Head + Product as the company grew.

At The 1% Club, I joined from the ground up and helped build teams and the organizational structure. I worked across hiring, talent development, employer branding, and community building.

Earlier, I worked in tech recruitment at CRED and ShareChat, and helped startups build teams as a fractional HR partner. I started out as an engineering student focused on creating student communities, training opportunities, and career support.
