What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values diversity and offers opportunities for growth, where I can leverage my recruitment expertise to build high-performing teams.

I am an experienced Senior Talent Partner with a proven track record in scaling Global Corporate, Start-up, and Scale-up businesses. My expertise lies in hiring across various sectors, including Compliance, Product, Data, and Design, with a recent focus on Commercial and Middle office functions within Financial Services. I have a strong ability to partner with senior executives and managers to provide valuable insights into hiring, staff retention, and diversity initiatives.

At Waystone Asset Management, I successfully reduced permanent agency spend to £0 and built a recruitment team from scratch during a significant acquisition. My achievements include decreasing time to hire from 45 days to 26 days for tech roles and increasing diversity hiring significantly. I am passionate about creating effective recruitment processes and policies that enhance organizational growth and employee engagement.

Throughout my career, I have managed recruitment across multiple countries, including the UK, Dubai, USA, Canada, Luxembourg, and the Philippines. I thrive in dynamic environments and am dedicated to fostering inclusive workplaces that attract top talent.
