What I'm looking for

Seeking a challenging role that leverages my expertise in talent acquisition, leadership, and coaching to drive business growth and success.

As a seasoned Talent Acquisition leader, I bring 17+ years of in-house corporate recruitment experience, including 3+ years of strategic leadership experience in global organizations. I have led teams during busy hiring periods, resulting in 40% to 50% employee growth. I empower and lead teams with empathy, challenging them to reach their full potential through coaching and mentorship.

I partner with hiring managers and executive leaders to understand their needs, providing exemplary service by consulting with them on recruiting best practices, talent acquisition plans, and DEI best practices. Over the years, I have managed, mentored, and hired multiple recruiters, coaching and mentoring them on stakeholder management, handling difficult conversations, candidate experience, DEI best practices, and sourcing.

I have maintained 100% retention on the TA teams I managed, and I am committed to driving results-oriented recruitment strategies that align with business objectives.
