United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a bilingual Talent Strategist with deep experience leading global executive search across technology, product, engineering, and corporate functions. I design and run end-to-end executive recruitment programs that prioritize candidate experience and business impact.
I have led and mentored global teams, established performance expectations, and scaled recruitment processes across North America, LAC, EMEA and APAC. I built targeted requisition strategies for executive and critical-level roles and improved slate diversity through refined talent identification methods.
I have driven projects that modernized recruitment tools and employer feedback mechanisms, including launching recruitment videos and video interviewing platforms, and implementing ATS modules and enterprise hiring tools. I partner closely with executive leadership to define talent pipelines, succession strategies, and complex offer management.
I bring proven experience in high-stakes hiring for Web3, blockchain, fintech, life sciences, manufacturing, and corporate functions, with a commitment to accountability, DE&I objectives, and measurable hiring outcomes.
