What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead talent acquisition and HR partnering for organizations with business-critical hiring needs, where I can build high-performing recruitment teams, strengthen direct sourcing, and improve workforce planning and hiring processes.

I've led talent acquisition and HR business partnering for Vena Group's renewable energy operations, delivering specialized hires across construction, engineering, project development, O&M, HSSE, and leadership roles.

I built direct-sourcing and referral channels that independently sourced 97% of 2025 manpower requirements, while leading local and international searches across multiple markets. I also developed structured assessment forms, interview guides, onboarding processes, and salary benchmarking practices.

Across Vena Group, Avida Land, Avida Sales, and Signatures Development, I've partnered with leaders on workforce planning, recruitment delivery, employee relations, performance management, and HR operations. I enjoy building capable recruitment teams and practical hiring processes that support business growth.
