What I'm looking for

I'm seeking remote opportunities in Business Development, Partnerships, Account Management, Talent Acquisition and Recruitment, where I can combine my commercial mindset, relationship-building skills and international experience to help businesses grow. I'm particularly interested in SaaS, technology and high-growth companies with global or APAC-focused teams.

I’m an international Talent & Business Development professional blending agency technology recruitment with earlier enterprise software and cybersecurity sales experience. I focus on commercial growth, client engagement, and solution-led conversations with senior stakeholders.

Currently based in Bangkok, I support clients across GCC markets while working remotely for a Dubai-based organisation. I partner on technology and transformation hiring mandates, delivering end-to-end recruitment from talent identification through to offer management.

Across my career, I’ve generated £900K+ in recruitment fees at Recognition One and £452K+ at Michael Page, including my best annual billing year of £250K. I’ve secured multiple new client partnerships across UK, EMEA, and international markets through outbound prospecting, cold calling, networking, and relationship-led engagement.

I’ve also built specialist capability, including developing DevOps, DevSecOps and Cyber Security recruitment expertise. As a founder of an independent consultancy, I established operations and client acquisition from the ground up and supported senior hiring and salary benchmarking—while mentoring teams and delivery resources across international campaigns.
