What I'm looking for

I seek a senior talent acquisition role where I can lead hiring strategies, build high-performing teams, and partner with leadership to scale technical and GTM hiring.

I am a high-performing talent acquisition professional with over 17 years of experience in sales and recruiting, focused on scaling hiring efforts for both niche and high-volume roles.

I have built and led high-growth recruitment teams within corporate and agency environments for world-class companies including Amazon (A.W.S.), Meta, and Microsoft, and supported early-stage startups through multiple funding stages.

My expertise spans full-cycle technical recruiting, GTM/sales hiring, executive search, and diversity-focused sourcing, with hands-on experience recruiting engineers, AI/ML, product, and senior commercial leaders.

I partner closely with C-suite and hiring managers to craft hiring strategies, build proactive talent pipelines, and deliver exceptional candidate experiences that drive business growth.
