What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values remote work, fosters growth, and allows me to utilize my HR and business development skills.

I am a seasoned business development and HR professional with over five years of experience in talent acquisition, global recruitment, and sales management. My journey has been marked by significant achievements, including spearheading client acquisition strategies at East African Careers, which resulted in a remarkable 32% increase in platform subscriptions and enhanced engagement among job seekers in the region.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed recruitment pipelines for Aldelia Global Manpower, filling over 150 roles in the oil and gas sector. My commitment to operational efficiency is evident in my delivery of data-driven HRIS solutions at SolarNow, which improved compliance and streamlined processes. I thrive in cross-functional virtual teams, having negotiated deals exceeding $250,000 and championed inclusive hiring initiatives for individuals with disabilities.

As I look to the future, I am eager to leverage my combined expertise in a fully hybrid or remote HR, recruitment, or business growth role, where I can continue to make a meaningful impact.
