What I'm looking for

I’m looking for global remote opportunities where I can lead data-driven, AI-native hiring—partnering with C-level leaders on workforce planning, scaling recruiting operations, and delivering measurable outcomes in fast-moving tech teams.

I’m a Global Talent Acquisition Leader with 10+ years delivering 80+ annual hires and strong outcomes—92% goal attainment and 90% first-year retention—across LATAM, EMEA, Africa, and APAC.

I’m AI-native in recruiting, leveraging Claude and Gemini plus custom automation tools to improve candidate validation, optimize workflows, and strengthen predictive analytics for hiring decisions. I bring deep expertise across technical roles (Engineering, SDET/QA/SRE/DevOps/Platform), product roles (PM/PD/PE), data science, AI/ML, and executive leadership.

In my current role as a Talent Partner Specialist at Search Atlas, I lead full-cycle recruitment across 7+ regions and work directly with C-level stakeholders on workforce planning, headcount strategy, and talent market intelligence. I’m also developing AI-powered TA automation that consolidates profile validation, outreach, and JD creation into a standardized output.

Previously, I delivered 81 hires in 12 months at Paag while scaling a team from 9 to 90 employees (1,072% growth), and I led Greenhouse ATS implementation at AvantStay to streamline workflows, reporting, and data cleanup. I’m known for operating in hypergrowth environments with a remote-first mindset, strong DEI practices, and employer branding impact.
