What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values strategic talent acquisition and fosters innovation.

I am a passionate and results-focused Senior Talent Advisor with extensive experience in high-growth organizations. My career has been dedicated to building and maintaining relationships across diverse groups, including executives, hiring managers, and candidates. I thrive in fast-paced environments, leveraging my skills as a dynamic influencer and trusted advisor to drive talent strategies that align with business goals.

Throughout my career, I have successfully established talent functions from the ground up, notably at Opto Investments, where I transitioned the company from zero to a fully operational talent system. My ability to think creatively and devise innovative solutions has allowed me to enhance recruitment efficiency and foster cohesive talent ecosystems. I am committed to delivering high-quality results while protecting the burn rate for startups, ensuring sustainable growth.

With a strong background in full life-cycle recruiting, talent strategy, and employer branding, I am adept at navigating the complexities of talent acquisition in various sectors, including WealthTech, EdTech, and Energy. I am excited to continue my journey in talent acquisition, contributing to organizations that value strategic growth and innovation.
