What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, values collaboration, and allows me to leverage my expertise in talent acquisition and business development.

I am a results-driven Talent Acquisition and Business Development professional with over 8 years of experience leading global hiring initiatives and driving market expansion for EoR, HR Tech, and Executive Search firms. My proven track record includes placing over 35 C-suite and senior executives across EMEA within 11 months at GoGlobal, achieving a remarkable 98% placement success rate. I have generated over $300K in new business through strategic partnerships and have a strong ability to build high-performing recruitment teams that consistently exceed hiring KPIs.

Throughout my career, I have spearheaded significant expansions, such as Workpay Africa's growth from 1 to 28 countries, and have closed multiple high-value B2B deals that drove double-digit annual revenue growth. I am passionate about optimizing hiring operations and delivering tailored solutions that enable seamless workforce scalability and global compliance. My expertise in data-driven recruitment and stakeholder engagement has allowed me to maintain strong client satisfaction and retention.
