What I'm looking for

I seek senior talent acquisition or people-lead roles where I can build scalable recruitment processes, lead diverse teams, implement ATS and employer-branding strategies, and drive inclusive, high-volume hiring in fast-growth organisations.

I am a Talent Acquisition and HR leader with over a decade of experience building recruitment functions across Technology, Healthcare, Finance, and Telecommunications. I design and implement scalable recruitment processes, lead cross-functional teams, and drive employer-branding and ATS integrations that improve candidate experience and hiring velocity.

I have built and led talent teams, scaled headcount up to 3x, delivered recruitment solutions in agency, RPO, and in-house environments, and championed Diversity, Equality and Inclusion initiatives; I am passionate about developing talent and partnering with leaders to support organisational growth.
