What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead scalable marketing, people, or recruiting operations, improving workflows, prioritization, stakeholder alignment, and delivery through structured systems and continuous improvement.

At NewtonX, I own marketing project management and transformed Asana into a scalable system for campaign execution and cross-team coordination. I built standardized workflows, structured intake and prioritization, and workload visibility to improve predictability and mitigate delivery risks.

At McKinsey & Company, I coordinated interview workflows across multiple time zones, managed candidate lifecycle processes, and maintained recruitment data governance and reporting. I partnered with cross-functional stakeholders to deliver data-driven recruitment updates and improve hiring efficiency.

My background also includes sales, cabin crew at Emirates, university recruitment, and HR administration. I bring experience working calmly under pressure with diverse stakeholders, supported by an MSc in Hospitality and Tourism Management and a BSc in International Business and Business Administration.
