What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role in talent acquisition or recruitment where I can build scalable systems, grow teams, and expand regional cross-border placement impact.

I am a strategic Recruitment Leader with over five years of experience building scalable talent systems and driving cross-border placements. I have expanded operations across 16 African countries and consistently exceeded regional revenue and placement targets.

At HRC International I led a high-performing recruitment team that achieved a 300% increase in hiring outcomes and tripled African candidate placements in US and European hospitality markets. I built and nurtured 30+ strategic partnerships with hospitality schools to create enduring recruitment pipelines.

Earlier roles include scaling virtual recruitment initiatives that resulted in 300+ successful candidate placements and establishing the Kenya office from the ground up to support regional expansion. I have a strong track record of streamlining operations through digital tools, automation, and data-driven workflows.

I hold an MSc in Management and Organizational Development and SPHRi certification, and I bring practical multi-sector HR experience alongside technical fluency in ATS platforms, collaboration suites, and analytics to deliver measurable hiring outcomes.
