What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters growth, collaboration, and innovative talent solutions.

I am an HR Generalist with over 13 years of experience, specializing in leadership hiring and talent management. My career has been marked by successful placements in prestigious organizations such as META, Google, and Microsoft, where I honed my skills in stakeholder management and executive recruitment. I have a proven track record of engaging with senior leaders and building strong relationships across various industries, including Big Tech, e-commerce, and luxury retail.

As a Principal Consultant at Ushta Te Consultancy, I lead a team of nine, focusing on mid and senior management positions. My approach emphasizes quality of hire and candidate experience, which has resulted in significant revenue generation and successful closures of CXO-level positions. I am passionate about mentoring fellow recruiters and continuously improving recruitment strategies to meet the evolving needs of the industry.
