What I'm looking for

I seek senior TA roles where I can lead full-cycle hiring for technical and AI roles, improve recruitment processes, mentor sourcers, and drive inclusive, data-driven talent strategies.

I am a results-driven Talent Acquisition professional with over 8 years' experience leading full-cycle recruitment across Big Tech, EdTech and high-growth startups. I have a proven track record sourcing and closing top-tier talent for roles in ML, data and engineering, optimizing hiring strategies, and driving inclusive recruitment campaigns that meet tight timelines.

At Amazon AWS I led AGI hiring across multiple countries, achieved an 80% offer-to-acceptance rate, redesigned requisition strategies to reduce time-to-offer, and managed a team of sourcers. I have also delivered high-volume hiring and process improvements at Google, HyperionDev, GetYourGuide and other organisations while partnering with hiring managers and stakeholders to improve employer branding, DEI outcomes and pipeline efficiency.
