I scale technical and business hiring for fast-growing international companies.
United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
I'm currently embedded with Mindera through Aryahub, leading recruitment for mobile engineering and hiring across backend, full-stack, cloud, UX/UI, and Salesforce roles for clients including M&S, British Airways, Trainline, Avios, and The Guardian.
At EVA Global, I hired 50+ professionals across Europe, North America, and Malaysia while building international talent pipelines and improving recruitment processes with AI-powered sourcing tools. I also managed stakeholder partnerships from search through onboarding.
I've led sourcing teams and client accounts at ACELR8, built learning and performance frameworks at Teya, and progressed into team leadership at Farfetch. I bring hands-on recruitment delivery, market insight, employer branding, DEI, early-careers, and candidate-experience focus to high-growth environments.
