I am a results-driven recruitment and operations manager with deep experience coordinating local and international full-cycle recruitment projects across Europe, Africa and Asia. I specialize in leading recruiter teams, developing processes, and managing logistics for workforce mobilization.
Over my career I have built and scaled overseas departments, opened new markets and accounts, and mobilized hundreds of workers for engineering, civil and healthcare projects. I deliver recruitment strategy, commercial proposals, forecasts and client relationship management.
My strengths include team leadership, quality auditing (ISO 9001 practices), operations planning and service-support logistics, with hands-on experience in negotiating contracts and implementing recruitment metrics and reports.
