I recruit senior talent across global markets and strategic business functions.
What I'm looking for
At Amgen, I recruit senior and strategic roles across Europe, LATAM, the Middle East, Africa, and Canada. I partner with General Managers and VPs, lead market mapping and proactive sourcing, and manage integrated internal and external talent pipelines.
I've led regional recruitment initiatives including Amgen's clinical restructuring project and supported Eightfold CRM implementation. I also guide recruiters as an indirect manager and contribute to the Talent Acquisition Regional Leadership Team.
Across Rockwell Automation, Johnson & Johnson, PRA Health Sciences, and executive-search consultancies, I've delivered end-to-end recruitment for sales, marketing, technology, clinical, and leadership roles across EMEA and LATAM.
