People and Talent leader specializing in scalable recruitment, onboarding, and employee experience for fast-growing tech teams.
What I'm looking for
I am a People and Talent professional with over five years of experience supporting fast-growing organizations across technology, consulting, and education. I build structured, scalable people processes that align talent initiatives with business and program needs.
At a software and product consultancy, I led people and culture initiatives, managed recruitment and onboarding across regions, and supported performance and development cycles to improve engagement and productivity. I have hands-on experience maintaining people data, HR systems, and documentation to enable informed decisions and compliance.
I am known for designing consistent onboarding experiences, fostering inclusive high-performing remote and multicultural teams, and delivering internal communications and engagement programs. I partner closely with leaders to translate organisational priorities into practical people programs.
My approach is people-first, execution-oriented, and detail-focused; I thrive in fast-changing environments where collaboration, structure, and reliability drive measurable improvements in employee experience and talent outcomes.
