What I'm looking for

I am looking for a purpose-driven team where I can leverage my expertise in technical hiring and contribute to building exceptional teams.

I am a highly experienced Full Lifecycle Recruiter with over 20 years of success in agency and executive search, focusing on hiring top-tier Engineering, Product, and Technical talent. My expertise lies in building strong partnerships with engineering stakeholders and consistently delivering high-quality hires in competitive, product-led, and SaaS environments.

Currently, I lead a specialist recruitment consultancy, Mackenzie Wayne, where I partner with startups, scale-ups, and enterprise clients to deliver mission-critical hires across Software Engineering, Product Management, and Technology Leadership roles. I leverage my sourcing expertise, data-first mindset, and strategic focus to accelerate technical hiring while championing hiring excellence.
