What I'm looking for

I seek a senior leadership role to build and scale global TA functions, drive data- and AI-enabled hiring transformations, partner with executives, and improve hiring velocity and quality.

I am a talent acquisition leader with extensive experience building and scaling global recruiting functions across fintech, media, and consumer businesses. I have led transformations that reduced time-to-hire by up to 92% and scaled teams and headcount rapidly to meet growth goals.

I design and implement data-driven recruiting systems, modernize processes and technology, and deploy AI-driven sourcing using LLMs (Gemini, GPT) to improve hiring velocity and candidate quality. I have optimized ATS usage (Greenhouse), built dashboards in Looker and Monday.com, managed multi-million-dollar budgets, and advised C-suite leaders on compensation benchmarking and workforce planning.

I thrive as a strategic business partner who builds high-performing teams, embeds structured assessment frameworks, and delivers measurable talent outcomes that align with business strategy.
