What I'm looking for

I'm focused on leading talent acquisition strategy and transformation for technology organizations, partnering with global business leaders to build scalable hiring capabilities, data-driven talent intelligence, employer branding, and high-performing recruiting teams.

At Ellucian, I lead talent acquisition strategy across India and Australia for R&D, cloud engineering, professional services, and G&A. I partner with global leaders to fulfil talent needs, strengthen employer branding, and expand internship hiring.

Over 22 years, I've built and scaled recruiting operations at Brocade, NetApp, PeopleStrong, and CareerNet. I've implemented SAP SuccessFactors and Taleo ATS, improved Brocade recruiting NPS from -16 to +26, led acquisition integration, and developed data-driven hiring, executive search, and workforce strategies.
