What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead technical talent acquisition, build scalable sourcing strategies, partner with leadership, and hire world-class engineering teams in international, fast-paced companies.

I am a high-performing, results-driven Talent Acquisition professional with over 12 years' experience recruiting across EMEA and US markets, specialising in direct sourcing and head-hunting for software engineering, AI/ML, mobile, payments and media roles. I thrive in fast-paced international environments, partnering with leadership to build world-class engineering teams and delivering end-to-end recruitment from stakeholder briefing to offer management.

Throughout my career I have led 360 recruitment desks, managed contractor and permanent IT hiring, administered HR processes, and developed employer-branding and sourcing strategies that scale. I bring proven market insight, strong stakeholder management, and fluency in Portuguese, English and Spanish to recruit top technical talent for innovative companies.
